Hepatitis B is a viral infection, affecting the liver. It can lead to both an acute and chronic infection. Hepatitis B virus transmission is through contact with an infected person's blood and other bodily fluids. This disease is a global health concern, but vaccination and proper testing can help prevent and manage it effectively.
Understanding when to undergo Hepatitis B testing is vital to maintaining your health. If you had close contact with someone diagnosed with Hepatitis B, testing is advisable. Having unprotected sex with several partners or sharing needles, especially for those taking intravenous drugs, significantly increases the risk of Hepatitis B infection, so testing is necessary.
Healthcare workers who are often exposed to blood are also at high risk for Hepatitis B and require regular screenings. If you are expecting a child, testing is also important because Hepatitis B can be transmitted to a newborn during childbirth, which makes testing essential in prenatal care.
A Hepatitis B test can help in detecting early and preventing serious liver conditions, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. It avoids spreading the virus to other people as they do not know about this infection and can pass it on to others unknowingly.
Hepatitis B doesn't cause symptoms in many infected people, but they can still transmit the virus. When symptoms occur, they include loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice, and fatigue.
Hepatitis B spreads through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. This can occur through sharing needles, sexual contact, or from mother to child during childbirth.
