Hepatitis b Virus
Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a virus that affects the liver. It is spread through contact with an infected person’s blood and other body fluids such as saliva and semen. Transmission commonly occurs through unprotected sex, sharing of needles, and childbirth. HBV is a highly contagious virus, and can cause serious and potentially fatal liver disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to reduce the risk of serious health complications such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. Vaccination against HBV is the most reliable way to prevent infection. Vaccination is recommended for all infants, children, and adults who are at risk of infection.
