Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks the liver. The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be transmitted through body fluids, typically from sexual intercourse (SD) or infected blood from needle sharing.
What are Hepatitis B symptoms?
Symptoms are typical of liver infections and include dark urine and jaundice (yellow skin and eyes). Fatigue is another common symptom of chronic infections. Long term risks include Cirrhosis and liver cancer. Up to 25% of those who develop chronic Hepatitis B may go on to a life-threatening condition.
Hepatitis B testing is done via a small fluid sample using a quick test kit that delivers results in less than 15 minutes
