Hepatitis B is a viral infection. It is a virus. Only one virus causes Hepatitis B. It infects the liver. A vaccine exists to prevent it. It is blood borne. If you are in the same room with someone who has it, you will not catch it. Do not share needles, razors, or anything that could move their body fluids to you.
Hepatitis B can be treated.
Other liver infections exist.
Hepatitis A generally results when an infected person prepares your food.
Hepatitis C is blood borne. Anything one person does that gets body fluids from one person into another spreads the virus.
Hepatitis D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M also exist. Those liver infections are caused by different pathogens. (I do not have the first idea about any of those diseases. Someone came back from Atlanta and passed on that information.)
