It is the leading cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepato-cellular cancer worldwide. Health care personnel especially medical student represent high risk population for hepatitis B virus infection. There is limited information on the breakthrough infections among vaccinated medical students, therefore, this study determined the positivity of HBsAg and factors associated with breakthrough infections among Hepatitis B vaccinated students in Mwanza, Tanzania.<br/><br/>Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study conducted from June to August 2024 among CUHAS medical student in Mwanza, Tanzania. Demographic data and factors associated with breakthrough infections were captured in a well-structured questionnaire.

The majority of this study participants were females 54.4%, single 100.0%, and studying degree 57.0%. The prevalence of HBV infection was found to be 0%. Most of the participants 99.7% have no history of STDS, 17.3% performed normal and oral sex, also, 28.3% and 4.7% were never and rarely use condoms respectively.<br/><br/>Conclusion: The prevalence of HBV infection among vaccinated students at CUHAS is low according to WHO classification.
