Hepatitis B is an infection that causes inflammation of the liver. It can survive outside the body for up to 7 days. It can become chronic and lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure and death. Hepatitis B can be contracted through sexual contact, needle sticks, blood transfusions, and the sharing of needles. One of the best ways to prevent contracting this deadly disease is by getting the Hepatitis B vaccination. This vaccine is 95% effective and available for all age groups.
