— Understanding the condition —
What do hepatitis B & C really mean?
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis B and C are two different viruses that infect the liver and spread through blood or certain body fluids. Both can cause a short-term illness or a long-term infection that may lead to scarring (cirrhosis) and liver cancer.
Hepatitis B can be prevented with a safe vaccine, and treatment can keep the virus under control. Hepatitis C has no vaccine, but modern antiviral medicines can clear the virus in most people.
“Both infections are often silent, and many people discover them only through a routine blood test. A positive result is the start of a plan, not the end of the road.”
— Know the symptoms —
Common signs of hepatitis B & C
Many people with hepatitis B or C have no symptoms at all. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
Persistent tiredness
Tiredness and weakness that does not go away.
Poor appetite & nausea
Loss of appetite, nausea, or a feeling of fullness.
Upper-right belly discomfort
Discomfort or mild pain on the upper right side of the belly.
Dark urine & pale stools
Tea-coloured urine, or pale, clay-coloured stools.
Yellow eyes or skin
Yellowing of the eyes or skin, known as jaundice.
Itching or joint pain
Itching, joint pain, or a low-grade fever in some people.
— How it spreads —
How do hepatitis B & C spread?
Both viruses spread through blood and certain body fluids. They do not spread through hugging, sharing food or utensils, coughing, or casual contact.
Mother to Baby
Hepatitis B can pass from mother to baby during birth.
Unprotected Sex
With an infected partner, more often for hepatitis B.
Shared Needles
Sharing needles or syringes, or unsafe injections.
Unsterile Equipment
Unsterilised medical, dental, or tattoo equipment.
Unscreened Blood
Blood transfusions or transplants where screening was not done.
Shared Razors & Brushes
Personal items that may carry blood, like razors or toothbrushes.
Not by Casual Contact
Hugging, sharing food, coughing, or toilets do not spread it.
What Worsens Damage
Alcohol, excess weight, and diabetes can worsen liver damage.

— Questions patients usually ask —
Common concerns, honest answers
They are caused by two different viruses. Hepatitis B can be prevented with a vaccine and is usually controlled with medicines. Hepatitis C has no vaccine, but treatment can clear the virus in most people. Both can damage the liver over time if not managed, and both are detected with blood tests.
For hepatitis C, modern antiviral medicines can clear the virus in most people, and your doctor will confirm this with a blood test after treatment. For hepatitis B, treatment usually keeps the virus under control rather than removing it completely, though some people do clear it. Your doctor will explain what to expect in your situation.
Only a blood test can tell. Because both infections often have no symptoms, testing is advised for anyone who may have been exposed, those with abnormal liver tests, pregnant women, and people about to start immune-suppressing treatment.
Hepatitis B and C do not spread through hugging, sharing food or utensils, coughing, or casual contact. They spread through blood and certain body fluids. You should avoid sharing razors, toothbrushes, or anything that may carry blood. Family members and partners should be tested, and vaccinated against hepatitis B if they are not immune.
Yes, in most cases. If you have hepatitis B, steps such as vaccination of the baby soon after birth, and in some situations other measures, greatly reduce the chance of passing it on. Talk to your doctor early in pregnancy, or before planning one.
Not always. Some people with hepatitis B only need regular monitoring until tests show that treatment is needed. For hepatitis C, treatment is generally advised when there is an active infection. Your doctor will decide after your tests.
Alcohol speeds up liver damage in people with hepatitis, so it is best avoided. Please discuss this honestly with your doctor.
Go straight away if you vomit blood, pass black or bloody stools, become confused or very drowsy, develop yellowing of the eyes with severe weakness or vomiting, have a rapidly swelling belly with fever or severe pain, or have bleeding that will not stop.
