Oh my favorite person ansnwered. How is your grammar going?

Well I was taught it was B for like asians because those are common in Asia and places outside USA, while C is more common in USA. So intravenous drug users from USA gets type C. My friend was going USMLE World questions and the answer said it was B. And you said that Goljan also said B, so I guess B is correct.

Hi,

Answer is hepatitis B for IV drug abuser in the USA.
Most common cause for hepatitis c is blood transfusion.
