The hepatitis B virus (HBV) continues to be one of the main causes of liver disease worldwide, despite the vaccination programs implemented over the last decade. It is estimated that 2 billion individuals have been exposed to HBV and more than 240 million are chronically infected worldwide.

Currently, there is little data on HBV infection in this population. Therefore, the general aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological profile of HBV infection in a population of waste pickers in Goiânia-Go.
