Hepatitis B is a serious viral liver infection. Most adults with Hepatitis B develop an acute version, meaning they typically make a full recovery. In serious cases, the infection can become chronic. Chronic Hepatitis B can lead to severe liver damage, cancer or cirrhosis.1
There are an estimated 257 million people worldwide living with Hepatitis B. This disease primarily affects the Western Pacific and African regions of the world. The primary way to treat Hepatitis B is to manage the symptoms and prevent spreading it to others.1,2
What Causes Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is caused by an infection from the HBV virus. The virus is contracted through person to person contact. The typical way of spreading Hepatitis B virus is through sexual contact, whereby an infected partner passes the infection to the other. This occurs when the infected person’s blood, semen, saliva or vaginal secretions enter the other person’s body.1
Another common way to spread the Hepatitis B virus is through sharing needles or from being accidentally stuck with a needle. Pregnant women infected with Hepatitis B virus can also pass on the infection to their child.1
