What is Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. The virus is transmitted through blood, semen, or other body fluids. It can be contracted through sexual contact with an infected individual, sharing needles with an infected person, or mother-to-child transmission during birth. Hepatitis B can have acute symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and abdominal pain, while also causing chronic liver damage and even liver cancer in some cases. The best way to prevent the disease is through vaccination and practicing safe sex and drug use habits.
