Many people got infected with Hepatitis but only few people are aware of how it caused a disease into our body, along with the prevention and precautions of Hepatitis. Not all Hepatitis are transmitted through sexual contact.

Although most of the reported cases found that Hepatitis are prevalent to person with multiple partner. A big number of patients with Hepatitis are reluctant to open their source of infection thereby presumed the real origin of patient’s disease. Hepatitis is the inflammation and infection of the liver caused by the invasion of Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E viruses. They differ on how they transmit into our bodies. Here are things you should know about Hepatitis!

1. Hepatitis A or the Picornavirus enters into the body of a person via the ingestion of fecally contaminated water or shellfish.

2. Hepatitis B or the Hepadnavirus spread to the body of a person through transfusion of contaminated blood and plasma or semen or the inoculation by a contaminated syringe or needle through IV drug use.

3. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by blood or blood products, Intravenous drug use or sexual contact.

4. Hepatitis D is also transmitted just like Hepa B but it requires a coexisting Hepa B virus infection to be activated. It means you already have existing Hepa B in your body and the disease becomes more complicated now due to the merger of the two viruses.

5. Hepatitis E is enterically transmitted similar to Hepa A. If a person have HEPA, his or her skin will become yellowish due to jaundice. This occurs because the liver function slows.
