People at high risk for getting hepatitis B disease (which is transmitted by coming into direct contact with an infected person's body fluids) are IV drug users, prostitutes, prisoners, sexually promiscuous persons and babies born to infected mothers.
90-95% of all hepatitis B cases recover completely after 3 to 4 weeks of nausea, fatigue, headache, arthritis, jaundice and tender liver.

No. The commonest type of hepatitis is hepatitis A, caused by consuming contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B is transmitted by using a contaminated syringe, blood transfusion, sex or transmission from a mother to her baby
