Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis B virus DNA are natural hosts of the human body. It is known that some viruses are very resistant to conditions outside its host, which means the virus can survive a little out of the natural environment for a long time. They actually found in contaminated medical equipment, several months after contamination, and this could be a form of transmission, or at least one of them.
It is at least a hundred times more infectious than HIV, and occurs more virus particles in infected blood. In contrast to HIV, the virus can be transmitted through the saliva as well. This is verified aspects of this problem has been demonstrated.
Hepatitis B is spread much more rapidly than HIV infection through sexual contact without a condom. It also has another very interesting and dangerous from this point of view. It can be transmitted through intimate contact of the family, especially when the conditions of life "busy". In addition, can also be transmitted by contact with bodily fluids: blood, semen, vaginal secretions and saliva.
There are four modes of transmission of these infections are nasty. First, one is called vertical, when the mother passes the virus to newborns. The second is called the horizontal and passed between children, adolescents and even adults. This usually occurs through contamination of saliva or blood entering the body through superficial wounds and scratches. Parents, grandparents, older siblings, who are infected, which are potential sources of infection horizontal.
Sexual transmission is done by normal or homosexual activity between healthy and infected individuals. Transmission of the parents of hepatitis B virus through contaminated blood and blood products, home to a healthy organism enters through needles, blood transfusions, dialysis hem, or the drugs administered intravenously .
Everyone is in contact with contaminated blood exposed to the doctors and staff working in hospitals and have direct contact with it. A total of people affected are police, paramedics, firefighters, soldiers and workers. Exposed due to the nature of their work.
Also remember that more than three million carriers of this virus worldwide. We must always take care of things things and people we know, even if not working in the fields as described above. Infected objects such as needles can be very dangerous and can be people with the transmission of hepatitis B virus to a healthy body. In addition, we must educate the children in this, so they are aware of the risk of this disease.
Educate especially adolescents, who generally do not recognize, and almost never met, and not only them but also all kinds of people from all areas of activity, reduce transmission of this disease worldwide.
