1) What is Hep B?
It is a disease of the liver caused by a virus that resides in body fluids (blood, semen and vaginal fluids)

A good number of infected individuals do not have any symptoms. 
The common symptoms are:

• Fever
• Intense fatigue 
• Yellow eyes and skin; medically termed Jaundice.
• Anorexia (loss of appetite)
• Joint aches
• Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. 
• Darkly colored urine/ lightly colored stools.

Certain individuals demonstrate no symptoms yet they still pass on the Hep B virus to others

3.How bad is Hep B?
Very good question! 

Hep B can be very live-threatening. 💀💀💀💀

Some individuals are unaware they got the disease. Nevertheless they still can infect someone else during Sex.
Here's the good part 👉 Most persons who get infected with Hep B get well.
On the other hand, in some persons the disease goes into the Chronic stage (chronic Hepatitis B) and the virus remains within their bodies for life. 

Chronic Hepatitis B can easily damage the liver and result in Liver Cancer 💀💀💀💀💀

4) How is Hep B gotten?

It is gotten through the following ways.

Did you know that Hepatitis B virus is 100 times more infectious than HIV? Yes it actually is.

Persons at greater risks are.

✔ Persons who have sex without a condom 

("playing football without socks")-Hep B is easily transmitted during sexual intercourse.

✔Newborn babies-an infected mother can easily pass it on to her baby during parturition(Birth).

✔Persons who work in the health sector or live in close contact with individuals having Chronic Hepatitis B. 

5) how can you know if you have it?

✔Get Tested.

✔If you suspect that you have been exposed to Hep B, visit a hospital or Clinic and do a simple blood test to know if you presently have Hep B or if you havehad it in the past. Test can also verify if the virus is still in your blood.

Should it be that you have chronic Hepatitis B, the doctor will decide when and wether you need treatment. 

How can You protect yourself against this big thread.?

✔Get vaccinated - there exist a vaccine against Hep B that protects you from getting the disease.  It is usually administered 3 times over several months in order to be protected. 

✔All individuals from 0-18 years should get the vaccine.  It is safe for infants, children and adults. 

✔In case you're exposed to Hep B and you're not yet vaccinated, getting the vaccine immediately will help in protecting you from Hep B.
