Hep B

Hepatitis B is a virus that can be spread by direct contact with blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and/or breast milk.  It is an irritation and swelling of the liver.  It is sometimes shared at tattoo parlors, during drug abuse, and during a blood transfusion.  So watch out for dangerous activities.  If someone is infected congenitally, then there aren’t usually any visual indications, but the disease is still present.  Many infected people don’t even know that they have been infected.  Often times no symptoms are present.  But when symptoms to occur, you may feel sick for days or weeks, appetite loss, fatigue, muscle aches, nausea, and jaundice.  The incubation period for Hepatitis B is about 6 months.  If gone untreated, it can lead to liver failure and liver cancer.  This will eventually lead to death.  The only treatment available for Hepatitis B is closely monitoring your liver.  If you get liver cancer or your liver is failing, a transplant is needed.  To prevent the virus, youth and teens should receive the Hep B vaccination.  Also, everyone should practice safe sex or abstinence.  Always remember that abstinence is the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy and STI’s.
