Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that spreads through exposure to bodily fluids and can lead to liver inflammation. It can be brief and symptomless, but it may also cause scarring and liver failure if it becomes chronic. Prevention and treatment methods include vaccination, antiviral medications, practicing safe sex, and avoiding needle sharing.
