A 38-year-old man is found on routine bloodwork to have persistently elevated aminotransferases. He feels well and denies jaundice, abdominal pain, or pruritus. He has multiple sexual partners and inconsistent condom use, and a remote history of injection drug use. He drinks alcohol on weekends and takes no medications or supplements. Physical examination shows no stigmata of chronic liver disease. Hepatitis serology reveals hepatitis B surface antigen positive and hepatitis B surface antibody negative. What is the most appropriate secondary prevention strategy to reduce transmission of his infection?
Full answer analysis and choices are available inside the practice session.
