People know that hepatitis B is a disease in liver caused by
the infection with hepatitis B virus or HBV. This illness is one of the most
known forms of viral hepatitis that consists of hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.
However, any of the viral forms of hepatitis has several other causes such as
contact to certain manufacturing chemicals, fatty deposits in the liver,
continuous alcohol use and some sort of medicines.
The HBV is scatter when the vaginal fluids, which include
menstrual blood, semen and blood from infected individual to another person
through the following ways:
Childbirth. A
newborn baby can acquire the HBV from his or her mother during delivery when
the baby comes in contact with the body fluids of his or her mother in times of
giving birth. However, feeding your baby through breast does not spread the
virus from a mother with HBV to her baby.
Toiletries.
Grooming things like toothbrush and razors can be a way to scatter the HBV if
they transmit blood from an infected person carrying hepatitis B virus.
Tattoos and Body
Piercing. The hepatitis B virus can be transmitted when the needles used or
tattooing and body piercing are not appropriately sterilized and HBV-infected
blood will enter the skin of the person as the process has been made.
Sharing of Needles.
Individuals who share needles and other paraphernalia like spoons, forks,
cotton and even water, used for injecting illegal drugs may instill HBV
infection in your blood down to your veins.
Work-Related Contact.
Persons who handle instruments or blood employed to draw blood may become
infected with the HBV. Most of the affected in this kind of this disease were
the health care workers when they accidentally stuck with a used needle that is
contaminated with the virus.
Sexual Contact. This
is the most crucial factor of spreading HBV in North America.
