In Togo, the prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen (HBsAg) among young people aged 15-24 years was estimated at 16.4% in 2010; however, risk factors for HBsAg carriage are poorly documented. We sought to identify risk factors for HBsAg carriage and the serological profile of HBsAg carriers in Lomé (capital city of Togo).
