Hepatitis
B is the most common serious liver infection in the world. The hepatitis B virus that
attacks the liver causes it. The virus is transmitted through blood and
infected bodily fluids. This can occur through direct blood-to-blood contact,
unprotected sex, use of unsterile needles, and from an infected woman to her
newborn during the delivery process.
The
good news is that there is a simple blood test to find out if you have been
infected. There is also a safe and effective vaccine to protect you and your
loved ones against hepatitis B. Finally, there are promising new treatments
available for those who have developed chronic hepatitis B infections.
