30 Notes. Sample size is the number of positive plus negative tests (total valid tests. Prevalence is number positive divided by total valid tests, excluding missing values. Prevalence from sample size under 50 is not reliable. 2. Self-reported test results for HBV may be unreliable. 3. Saliva tests for hepatitis B underestimate prevalence. If test sensitivity is known then figures can be adjusted upwards by dividing prevalence by test sensitivity. Figures have not been adjusted. 4. Having health problems is one selection criterion for admission to drug in some countries or cities (Greece, Portugal, Rome, due to long waiting lists or special programmes for infected IDUs, this may result in upward bias of prevalence. Prevalence from data should therefore be interpreted in combination with non- data. 5. Data sources with no information on injecting status were excluded as far as possible, as such prevalence can severely underestimate prevalence among injectors in the same source. Some such sources were however included if samples were large or they provided trends over time, in which case it is indicated that injecting status is unknown and prevalence among injectors may be underestimated. * See Box 6 OL: Data sources prevalence ( for details of the sources. **=diagnostic testing; =specific prevalence study; SR=prevalence study based on self-reported test results
