Hepatitis B is a contagious liver infection caused by hepatitis B virus. There is Hepatitis B virus in the blood and body fluids of infected persons. The disease can be transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and many other body fluids. These are some examples of how it can be transmitted into the body: Blood transfusions, contact with blood in health care settings, had direct contact with the blood of an infected person by touching an open wound or being stuck with a needle, had unprotected sex with an infected person, received a tattoo or acupuncture with contaminated material, shared needles during drug use, shared personal items (such as toothbrushes, razors, and nail clippers) with an infected person
What are the types of hepatitis?
There are 5 types of hepatitis - A, B, C, D, and E - each caused by a different hepatitis virus.Hepatitis A is caused by eating food and drinking water infected with a virus called HAV. It can also be caused by anal-oral contact during sex. While it can cause swelling and inflammation in the liver, it doesn't lead to chronic, or life long, disease. Almost everyone who gets hepatitis A has a full recovery.Hepatitis B is caused by the virus HBV. It is spread by contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or other body fluid. And, it is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). You can get hepatitis B by:Having unprotected sex (not using a condom) with an infected person.Sharing drug needles (for illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine or legal drugs like vitamins and steroids).Getting a tattoo or body piercing with dirty (unsterile) needles and tools that were used on someone else.Getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care workers can get hepatitis B this way).Sharing a toothbrush, razor, or other personal items with an infected person.An infected woman can give hepatitis B to her baby at birth or through her breast milk.Through a bite from another person.With hepatitis B, the liver also swells. Hepatitis B can be a serious infection that can cause liver damage, which may result in cancer. Some people are not able to get rid of the virus, which makes the infection chronic, or life long. Blood banks test all donated blood for hepatitis B, greatly reducing the risk for getting the virus from blood transfusions or blood products.Hepatitis C is caused by the virus HCV. It is spread the same way as hepatitis B, through contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or body fluid (see above). Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C causes swelling of the liver and can cause liver damage that can lead to cancer. Most people who have hepatitis C develop a chronic infection. This may lead to a scarring of the liver, called cirrhosis. Blood banks test all donated blood for hepatitis C, greatly reducing the risk for getting the virus from blood transfusions or blood products.Hepatitis D is caused by the virus HDV. You can only get hepatitis D if you are already infected with hepatitis B. It is spread through contact with infected blood, dirty needles that have HDV on them, and unprotected sex (not using a condom) with a person infected with HDV. Hepatitis D causes swelling of the liver.Hepatitis E is caused by the virus HEV. You get hepatitis E by drinking water infectedwith the virus. This type of hepatitis doesn't often occur in the U.S. It causes swelling of the liver, but no long-term damage. It can also be spread through oral-anal contact.

How do you catch hepatitus?
Hepatitis AThe hepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the feces (poop) of infected individuals. People usually get hepatitis A by eating food or drinking water that's been contaminated with feces. As disgusting as that sounds though, hepatitis A is actually considered less destructive than some other hepatitis viruses. Unlike some other hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A rarely leads to permanent liver damage. Within a few weeks, the symptoms will have gone away on their own and the virus will no longer be in your system. Once someone has recovered from a hepatitis A infection, that person has immunity to the virus, meaning he or she will probably never get it again. People are also protected against hepatitis A if they've been vaccinated for it.ListenHepatitis BHepatitis B is a more serious infection. It may lead to a condition called cirrhosis (permanent scarring of the liver) or liver cancer, both of which cause severe illness and even death. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. This can happen in the following ways:1 unprotected sex2 sharing contaminated needles3 using non-sterilised equipment for tattooing or body piercing or acupuncture4 blood transfusion using non-screened blood5 from infected mother to baby.NB It is not spread through coughing, sneezing or from faeces.In the United States, the most common way people get infected with HBV is through unprotected sex with a person who has the disease. People who share needles also are at risk of becoming infected because it's likely that the needles they use will not have been sterilized.As yet, there's no effective cure for hepatitis B. In most cases, teens who get hepatitis B will recover from the disease and may develop a natural immunity to future hepatitis B infections. But some people will have the condition forever. Medications can help some people with hepatitis B get rid of the virus.Hepatitis CThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis C is the most serious type of hepatitis. It's now one of the most common reasons for liver transplants in adults. Every year, thousands of people in the United States die from HCV. And there's no cure and no vaccine.An estimated 4.1 million Americans are currently infected with the virus. The most common way people become infected is through sharing drug paraphernalia such as needles and straws. People also get hepatitis C after having unprotected sex with an infected partner. Before 1990, many people got it through blood transfusions, but better blood screening and handling procedures now mean that this rarely happens.The medications currently used to treat hepatitis C are effective in controlling the disease in some people. However, hepatitis C treatments are not very easy to take, especially because some require frequent injections.
What is the causative organism of Hepatitis B?
Infectious hepatitis is most often caused by a virus. There are four commonly known hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A, B, C and D. Other hepatitis can be caused by bacteria, although less often. Still other forms of hepatitis are not caused by infectious agents at all, but by injury from toxins (such as alcohol, work chemicals, pollution, etc.) or other injury to the liver.
Can you be infected with hepatitis c from spit?
Of course you can be infected with hepatitis C from spit. 40% of the population's spit will contain some blood due to any number of things. Did you ever have visible blood in your spit? Now consider that it does not have to be visible blood to carry HCV.If you google, you can find cases of HCV acquired by using a toothbrush of infected person, or if they use yours. Also, due to the high number of cases where transmission is not defined (victims never engaged in any high risk of transmission activity), bodily fluid other than highly concentrated blood, where the presence of blood must be less visible must not be ruled out.In addition, these mystery cases are not likely to ever be determined to have been acquired through casual contact with the infected, as this has become very political, meaning you won't get un-massaged facts. And, when you read many post stating how you can even have sex with a HCV infected person, you may see a request for you to become an organ donor.The reckless lifestyle that most infected have led does put innocent people in danger.
