Hepatitis B - Quick and Easy Reference

Hepatitis B(HBV) can cause infection and inflammation of the liver. 

A person can have HBV and transmit the virus to others without knowing that they have it.



Some people experience no symptoms. Some only have the initial infection, which then resolves. 

For others, the condition becomes chronic. In chronic cases, 

the virus continues to attack the liver over time without detection, resulting in irreversible liver damage.

HBV is transmissible when blood, semen, or another bodily fluid from a person with the virus enters the body of an individual who does not have it.



More specifically, infection can occur:



when a woman with HBV gives birth

during sexual activity

as a result of sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection devices

as a result of practicing unsafe tattoo techniques

by sharing personal hygiene items, such as razors 



Early symptoms

If HBV does cause symptoms early on, they may include:



fever

joint pain

fatigue

vomiting

loss of appetite

abdominal pain

dark urine

clay colored stools

jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes

Treatment

There is currently no cure for HBV, but receiving the vaccine can prevent initial infection.

Hepatitis A -Easy and Quick Reference

Hepatitis A, also called hep A, is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus. 

Some people have only a mild illness that lasts a few weeks. Others have more severe problems that can last months. 

You usually get the disease when you eat or drink something contaminated by poop from a person who has the virus.

you’ll need to take care of yourself in the meantime.

Treatment

There is no specific treatment for hepatitis A.

changing a diaper and before preparing food or eating.
