Hepatitis B and C

Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that affect the liver. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with infectious body fluids, such as during unprotected sex or sharing needles. It can lead to chronic liver disease and liver cancer. Hepatitis C is primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, often through shared needles. While many people clear the virus naturally, it can also become chronic, leading to serious liver problems. Both infections can sometimes be managed with antiviral treatments, but prevention through vaccination for Hepatitis B and safe practices is crucial to reduce transmission risk.
