HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)

Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a virus that infects the liver, leading to inflammation and potential liver damage. It spreads through contact with infected blood, bodily fluids, or from mother to child during childbirth. Many people may not show symptoms initially, but chronic infection can result in serious health issues like liver cirrhosis or cancer. Vaccination is available and is the most effective way to prevent HBV infection. It's important to practice safe behaviors to reduce the risk, as awareness and early treatment can significantly improve health outcomes.
