Transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can occur in health-care settings from percutaneous or mucosal exposures to blood or other body fluids from an infected patient or health-care worker. They also can be transmitted by sharing needles. The hepatitis virus affects the liver. The HIV virus can be transmitted the same way but affects the entire immune system.
HIV is the most infectious between the following blood borne pathogens; HIV, hepatitis b, hepatitis c.
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition that occurs after someone has been infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus.) HIV uses cells associated with immune function for replication and AIDS is not contagious. Hepatitis is a virus that attacks the liver.
Hepatitis C and HIV are different infections caused by different viruses. They do share many risk factors for infections.
No, not everyone with HIV gets hepatitis. Viral hepatitis and HIV have similar risk factors, but they don't always go together.
Yes. Hepatitis B can survive in dried blood. If you live around people with Hepatitis B, a vaccine is available. You should get it. In fact, you should get it anyway. Hepatitis A and B can be prevented by a vaccine. Why take the risk?
ANSWER: Currently, there are NO vaccines that can prevent HIV or the HIV virus, but there AREvaccines that can prevent Hep. C.I hope this will help answer your question!
