Prevention of Viral Hepatitis

Prevention of Viral Hepatitis: The most effective means of preventing viral hepatitis is to avoid contact with the blood, saliva, semen, or vaginal secretions of infected individuals. People who have acute or chronic viral hepatitis should:

  • Avoid sharing items that could infect others, such as razors or toothbrushes.

  • Protect sex partners from exposure to their semen, vaginal fluids, or blood. Properly used condoms may be effective in preventing sexual transmission.
