Is Hepatitis B curable? Hepatitis B can’t be cured, but it can be managed. Antiviral medicine helps protect your liver and lowers the risk of liver cancer. Regular liver checks every 6–12 months are key to staying healthy and living well with hepatitis B. #HepatitisB #Liverhealth

Hepatitis A, B, C & D: What’s the difference? 🦠 A: From food/water. No chronic infection. 🩸 B & C: Spread through blood. B also via sex/childbirth. Both can become chronic. ⚠️ D: Needs hepatitis B to exist. More severe & often chronic. Know your type. Get tested. Take control. #HepatitisB
