What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. It is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids of an infected person, such as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions. Without treatment, it can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver failure, or liver cancer.
Symptoms of Hepatitis B and When to Get Tested
Many people infected with Hepatitis B do not show immediate symptoms, which can cause the disease to go unnoticed for years. However, when symptoms appear, they may include:
Extreme fatigue
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
Nausea and vomiting
Abdominal pain
Loss of appetite
Dark urine and light-colored stools
When should you get tested for Hepatitis B?
It is recommended to get tested if:
You have had unprotected sex.
You have a history of contact with an infected person.
You have received blood transfusions or medical procedures without proper sanitary control.
You are a healthcare professional exposed to blood or needles.
You are pregnant, to prevent transmission to the baby.
