Answers to all questions about hepatitis B and C

Vietnam is one of countries with the highest rate of hepatitis B in the world. The number of people infected with hepatitis B accounts for 20% of the national population (1 out of 5 people will be infected with hepatitis B). According to a report from the Preventive Medicine Department, each year, Vietnam has 10 million cases of deaths from hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B is also the main cause of liver cancer, cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

This virus progresses quietly, the symptoms are very discreet, difficult to detect without blood tests. Up to 90% of people with hepatitis B don't know their condition. The burning problem today is that the mother infects her baby at birth (before, during or after birth, called perinatal transmission) because of not knowing or not being properly advised.

In addition, the proportion of people infected with hepatitis C is lower than hepatitis B, but hepatitis C also causes dangerous complications.

So:

  • How do I know if I have hepatitis B or C?
  • How are the routes of transmission? How to prevent it?
  • When infected, how to monitor and treat? Is there any treatment?
