what type of hepatitis is sexually transmitted
Hepatitis B (HBV) is 50 to 100 times easier to transmit sexually than HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). HBV has been found in vaginal secretions, saliva, and semen. Oral sex and especially anal sex, whether it occurs in a heterosexual or homosexual context, are possible ways of transmitting the virus.It is not transmitted by holding hands, hugging, or even dry kissing on the lips.epatitis A spreads via fecal-oral contact, which can occur if there is direct oral-anal contact or contact with fingers or objects that have been in or near the anus of an infected person. If even a microscopic amount of virus-laden feces gets into the mouth, infection potentially can result.
