On the World Hepatitis Day, Dr. (Maj) Arun Valsan, Department of Gastroenterology, Amrita Hospitals emphasize on the need to get it tested. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are liver infections caused by a virus. Hepatitis B is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and spreads when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of a person who is not infected. It gets transmitted through sexual intercourse, sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment, or from mother to baby at birth. The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) spreads through contaminated blood. Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable liver infection. No vaccine exists for HCV.
