Hepatitis Transmission

The transmission ways of hepatitis varies with the virus type. In some cases (such as infection with hepatitis A or E viruses) the disease is transmitted trough contact with contaminated stool (those hepatitis viruses are easily transmitted from stool to food or water, and by swallowing, to the human body). In other cases (such as infection with hepatitis B, C, D, E viruses) hepatitis occurs when infected blood enters the body of a not infected person. Those are also transmitted trough unprotected (without a latex barrier) sex and very commonly from an infected mother to her baby during birth. Alcoholic hepatitis is not contagious, so it can not be transmitted from person to person.
