Detection of second human pegivirus (HPgV-2) antibodies in different samples in Guangdong and Sichuan Provinces, China. Serum or plasma samples from 86 HCV-infected patients, 70 PWID, 122 MSM, and 102 blood donors (100 samples that were negative for HPgV-2 antibodies plus 2 positive samples) are included. The antibody titers from each sample are plotted on the y-axis. HPgV-2 RNA–positive samples are shown in red. HCV, hepatitis C virus; MSM, men who have sex with men; OD450, optical density at 4
