May is Hepatitis Awareness Month. With this, polyDNA will shed light on Viral Hepatitis. Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex can be one of your preventive and additional mediums to protect yourself against infection. Since some types of viral hepatitis can be passed on through sexual contact, Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex (along with normal condom use) can offer you added protection. The need for increased awareness with regards to the burden of dealing with viral hepatitis and the number of premature deaths due to it has prompted polyDNA to provide some important information about this disease.

What is Viral Hepatitis?

Viral Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver due to a viral infection. There are many viruses that can attack and inflame the liver, such as the cytomegalovirus and mononucleosis. Many of the viruses that can enter your body do not primarily attack your liver. The liver is just one of the organs that these viruses can affect. However, in the case of viral hepatitis, the liver is inflamed because of specific viruses that attack it.

Your liver performs the following significant functions: a.) purifies the blood by changing harmful chemicals (external sources like medications and alcohol; internal sources such as bilirubin and ammonia) into harmless ones, b.) produces significant substances particularly proteins that are needed for good health (i.e albumin which is the protein building block of the body and specific proteins for proper blood clotting), c.) stores sugars, fats, and vitamins, and d.) fights infections. Once your liver is inflamed or damaged, the liver’s vital functions can be greatly affected. Thus, it will lead to the symptoms, signs, and problems associated with hepatitis.

The people who are mostly at risk for developing viral hepatitis are healthcare professionals, patients with haemophilia who receive blood clotting factors, intravenous drug users, people who practice unsafe/unprotected sex, and individuals who have multiple sex partners. There was a time when blood transfusion is a common means of spreading viral hepatitis, but it is rare nowadays. Usually, viral hepatitis is common among people who have low socioeconomic status and who are poorly educated. Roughly one-third of all cases of hepatitis have unknown origins or unidentifiable sources. This will mean that you can be infected with the hepatitis virus whether you belong to the high risk groups or not.

What are the common Types of Viral Hepatitis?

In US, the most common types of viral hepatitis are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. There are about 4.5 million Americans who are infected with viral hepatitis but most of them don’t know that they are. They usually experience flu-like symptoms.

Hepatitis A. This type is caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV) that is referred to as infectious jaundice. It is an acute illness that can never develop into a chronic one. It is spread when a person ingests microscopic amounts of fecal matter from contact with objects, food, or drinks that are contaminated with feces from an infected person (fecal-oral transmission). The virus can be present in the stool of an infected person for several weeks. Although anyone can get Hep A, you are mostly at risk if you travel or live in countries where it is common, have sex with a person infected with it, or care for a person with Hep A.

Hepatitis B. Type B hepatitis was once recognized as serum hepatitis as it was though that Hep B was only transmitted through blood or serum. However, it is now known that you get it through blood through sharing of needles among drug users, accidental needle stick injuries with infected blood, hemodialysis, blood transfusion, mother-to-newborn, and sexual contact (that is why is as classified as a STD). Infection can lead to chronic HBV infection.

Hepatitis C. Although the virus causing Hep C is unknown, it has very much similar mode of transmission to Hep B. You can get Hepatitis C virus through sharing of needles with infected persons, blood transfusion, accidental infected needle pricks, and sexual contact (but rare).

There are other viral hepatitis types- D, E, F, and G. However, these types are not yet confirmed yet.

How is Viral Hepatitis prevented and treated?

The most effective treatment plan for viral hepatitis uses a comprehensive approach. It varies depending on the type of viral hepatitis infection you have. Treatment plans are made to suit the patient’s age, medical history, and the type and severity of the disease.

The first step in any treatment plan is prevention. For you not to contract any viral hepatitis infection, you must avoid behaviours and situations that will place you at high risk in getting the infection. Keep away from sharing needles, living in areas with Viral Hepatitis, and multiple sexual contacts.

Vaccinations and anti-viral medications are both for preventive and treatment measures against Viral Hepatitis. Only those medications that are considered essential should be administered since the liver is impaired and can’t eliminate drugs normally.

What Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex can do for you?

Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex is a natural antiviral supplement that can help you if you have Viral Hepatitis. Because it is broad-range, Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex can target a variety of viruses in their chronic or latent phase, or in their incubation period. Gene-Eden-For-Safer-Sex can help your immune system in eliminating invading viruses (including hepatitis virus) that can become a lifelong health problem for you.
