Hepatitis B (STD)
There are several types of hepatitis – each caused by a different hepatitis virus. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be contracted through unprotected sex, using contaminated needles, or other causes.
You should be tested for Hepatitis B if you have symptoms of an infection or have been exposed to the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). If you have chronic liver disease, you should also be tested. You may want to consider the Hepatitis Panel, which tests for a variety of the most common variations of hepatitis.
