Answer:

HBV (hepatitis B) is a viral infection that attacks the liver. It can cause acute or chronic disease and it is transmitted through contact of blood or other body fluids of an infected person.

<em>An infected person can be transmitted through birth, sharing of needles, sharing of common household personal hygiene items, direct contact with an open or bloody sore, or through sexual contact.</em>

It is a hidden treat because those who have hepatitis B can transmit it to another (blood/other body fluid); if they know they have it or not.

Acute hepatitis B is short-term (6 months after being exposed) and they can become immune and can not get infected again; but it can lead to chronic hepatitis B (depends on how healthy the person is).

Chronic hepatitis B can cause liver damage, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death.
