Description
Roxane Schaub and co-authors report a 2026 cross border survey of hepatitis B, C, and D and HIV along the Maroni River. The river area, between French Guiana and Suriname, is remote, and most prior data came from towns and cities. The team also asked what local people know, believe, and do about these infections.
Adults living along the river joined during 2018 and 2019, gave blood for lab tests, and filled a risk and knowledge survey. More than two thousand people took part, with rates adjusted for age and sex. Past or current hepatitis B was common, while hepatitis C and HIV were far less common, and no hepatitis D was found. Age and male sex were linked to past hepatitis B exposure in the results shown.
