* Case reports with at least one of the following risk behavior/exposures reported 2-6 weeks prior to symptom onset or documented seroconversion if asymptomatic: 1) injection drug use; 2) sexual, household, or other contact; 3) men who have sex with men; 4) travel to hepatitis A-endemic region. Reported cases may include more than one risk behavior/exposure.
† Risk behaviors/exposures data from one state was classified as ‘missing’ because of errors in reporting.

See Table 1.3 for more risk behavior/exposure data.
Health departments might conduct investigations of newly reported hepatitis A cases to ascertain risk behaviors and exposures associated with infection. However, investigations might not be possible for all cases if patients are lost to follow-up or if health departments lack adequate resources for investigating all cases reported in their jurisdiction. Among the 18,846 case reports of hepatitis A received by CDC for 2019, data regarding risk behaviors or exposures were missing for 6,191 (32.9%) cases. At least one risk behavior or exposure was reported for 6,635 (32.5%) cases during the 2–6 weeks before illness onset.
