Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B (Hep B) is a serious liver disease caused by a virus. The disease can remain in the body for a lifetime causing on-going liver damage, liver cancer and even death. Hepatitis B is spread by: sex; sharing needles, toothbrushes, or razors; contact with an infected person's blood; and tattoos or body-piercing with unsterile equipment. Symptoms can include: yellowish skin and whites of eyes; a bloated, aching stomach; nausea; fever; dark-colored urine; and a rash over all the body. However, some people never feel sick, although they may still infect others and develop severe liver disease later on. It is easy to protect yourself against Hepatitis B. A Hepatitis B vaccine has been developed and is one of the safest vaccines available. Three shots are given over a period of six months.
