Hepatitis B vaccination status and associated factors among people living with HIV in Gulu, Uganda: a cross-sectional study
We found low coverage of hepatitis B vaccination among PWH attending Gulu Regional Referral Hospital. Hepatitis B vaccination programs should target PWH living in rural areas, with a low level of education and with no family history of hepatitis B to educate them about HBV vaccine to increase coverage.
