Facts You Need to Know
Hepatitis A and B are viruses that infect the liver.
Hepatitis A can cause jaundice and flu-like symptoms, but not long-term infection.
Hepatitis B has similar initial symptoms, though about 30 percent of those infected show no visible sign of the virus.
Hepatitis B can result in serious illness, such as cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer and even death.
More than 170,000 people in the U.S. become infected with hepatitis A or B each year.
About 750,000 people are chronically infected with hepatitis B. There are 77,000 new cases each year.
One out of 20 people will become infected with hepatitis B at some point in their lives.
About 5,000 people die each year from hepatitis B.
Both hepatitis A and B are preventable by vaccines.
The public is less familiar with hepatitis A & B than with all other common STDs.
Who’s Likely to Get Hepatitis A & B?
People at risk for hepatitis A include: those living in communities or traveling to countries where the virus is prevalent, those living in households with infected members, drug users, men who have sex with men, day care workers and those with chronic liver disease.
People at risk for hepatitis B include: health-care workers, drug users, men who have sex with men, people with multiple sex partners and household members of those with hepatitis B.
How Are Hepatitis A & B Transmitted?
Hepatitis A is spread when someone comes in oral contact with the stool (feces) of an infected person, usually through contaminated food. Hepatitis A is also transmitted by oral-anal sex.
Hepatitis B is spread through the blood and bodily fluids of an infected person. More than half of all hepatitis B infections come from sexual activity.
In addition, hepatitis B can be transmitted when infected needles are shared by drug users and, among health-care workers, from needle sticks in the workplace.
Hepatitis B can also be transmitted during delivery from an infected mother to her baby.
About one-third of all people with hepatitis B don’t know how they became infected.
The hepatitis B virus can be 100 times more contagious than HIV.
Costs and Consequences
Nearly 1 in 5 people infected with hepatitis A must be hospitalized.
In rare cases, hepatitis A can lead to death. There are approximately 100 deaths due to hepatitis A infection per year in the U.S.
The medical costs for hepatitis B are $51.4 million a year.
In 1997, the average medical cost for each case of hepatitis B was $668 a year.
Prevention and Treatment Basics
Both hepatitis A and B are preventable by vaccines. The hepatitis A vaccine should be given to at-risk groups older than two years. The hepatitis B vaccine should be given to everyone 18 years and under. It should also be given to at-risk adults.
Washing hands with soap after changing diapers or using the toilet, and before eating can reduce the risk of hepatitis A and B.
Using condoms regularly and correctly can reduce the risk of hepatitis B.
A preparation of antibodies known as immune globulin can provide short-term protection against hepatitis A infection.
While rest and proper nutrition can alleviate some symptoms, there is currently no available treatment for hepatitis A.
While there are medications available for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection, there is no cure.
Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs): a positive result indicates immunity to hepatitis B from the vaccination or recovery from an infection.
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): A negative result indicates that a person has never been exposed to the virus or has recovered from acute hepatitis and has rid themselves of the virus (or has, at most, an occult infection). A positive (or reactive) result indicates an active infection but does not indicate whether the virus can be passed to others.
Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg): A positive (or reactive) result indicates the presence of virus that can be passed to others. A negative result usually means the virus cannot be spread to others, except in parts of the world where infection with strains that cannot make this protein are common.
Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc): If it is present with a positive anti-HBs, it usually indicates recovery from an infection and the person is not a carrier or chronically infected. In acute infection, the first type of antibody to HBc to appear is an IgM antibody. Testing for this type of antibody can prove whether a person has recently been infected by HBV (where anti-HBc, IgM would be positive) or for some time (where anti-HBc, IgM would be negative).
HBV DNA: A positive (or reactive) result indicates the presence of virus that can be passed to others. A negative result usually means the virus cannot be spread to others, specially if tests that can pick up as few as 200 viruses (copies) in one mL of blood are used.
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers.

Drink Water and Stay healthy and ActiveThis makes sense .. the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
