Viral hepatitis affects millions of lives, yet many remain unaware of their infection. Let’s explore the facts and significance of hepatitis, focusing on the three main types: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.

1. Hepatitis A (HAV)
   • Cause: HAV is caused by the hepatitis A virus.
   • Transmission: It spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with an infected person.
   • Symptoms: Abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, and jaundice.
   • Prevention: Vaccination is available1.
2. Hepatitis B (HBV):
   • Cause: HBV is caused by the hepatitis B virus.
   • Transmission: It spreads through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child during childbirth.
   • Chronic Infection: Chronic HBV can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
   • Treatment: Antiviral medications can manage chronic HBV1.
3. Hepatitis C (HCV):
   • Cause: HCV is caused by the hepatitis C virus.
   • Transmission: It primarily spreads through blood (e.g., sharing needles).
   • Curable: HCV can be cured with effective antiviral treatment.
   • Prevalence: Millions worldwide live with HCV, often unknowingly¹.

Why Awareness Matters:

• • Silent Epidemic: Many infected individuals lack symptoms, delaying diagnosis.
  • Liver Cancer Risk: Chronic hepatitis can progress to liver cancer.
  • Vaccination: Vaccines for HAV and HBV prevent infections.
  • Treatment: Early detection and treatment save lives.

Here are some preventive measures individuals can take to reduce their risk of infection:

1. Good Hygiene:
   • • Handwashing: Regularly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after coughing or sneezing1.
     • Cover Coughs and Sneezes: Use a tissue or your elbow to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, then dispose of the tissue properly.
2. Vaccinations:
   • • Stay up-to-date with recommended vaccines. Vaccinations can prevent or reduce the severity of infections that can lead to sepsis2.
3. Keep Cuts and Wounds Clean:
   • • Clean and cover any cuts or wounds until they are fully healed2.
4. Avoid Close Contact with Sick Individuals:
   • • If someone is sick, limit contact with them to prevent spreading infections.
