Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). It can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), and in some cases, it can lead to serious liver damage, liver failure, or liver cancer.
Hepatitis B is mainly spread through:
Contact with infected blood or body fluids (such as semen or vaginal fluids).
Unprotected sex with an infected person.
Sharing needles, razors, or toothbrushes with an infected person.
From an infected mother to her baby during childbirth.
Many people with Hepatitis B don’t have symptoms at first, but when they do, they may experience:
Tiredness and weakness
Loss of appetite and nausea
Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
Dark urine and pale stool
Pain in the upper right side of the belly
There is no specific cure for acute Hepatitis B, but most people recover on their own. For chronic Hepatitis B, antiviral medications can help control the infection and prevent liver damage.
How Can You Prevent Hepatitis B?
Get vaccinated – The Hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective.
Practice safe sex – Use condoms to reduce the risk.
Avoid sharing needles and personal items like razors and toothbrushes.
Ensure blood and medical equipment are properly screened before use.
Hepatitis B is a serious but preventable disease. Getting vaccinated and adopting safe practices can protect you and others. If you think you are at risk, talk to a healthcare provider for testing and advice.
Stay informed, stay safe
