    How can I prevent the transmission of my viral hepatitis?

    With respect to hepatitis A and E, it is important to rigorously wash one’s hands after bowel movements and before manipulating foodstuffs, drinks or ice-cubes destined for someone else.

    If you have hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV) and/or D:

    • Use condoms during sexual relations (oral, vaginal and anal penetration);
    • Avoid sharing syringes and/or other drug-related paraphernalia (injection drug equipment);
    • Avoid the sharing of your toothbrush, razor, nail-trimmer or file and/or all personal articles that may carry traces of blood;
    • Ensure to cover adequately all wounds or open sores with a dressing or bandage;
    • Ensure the thorough cleaning of all surfaces that may have been contaminated by your blood (use 1 part ammonia/bleach to 9 parts water);
    • Do not donate your blood, organs or sperm for artificial insemination;
    • If you are pregnant, your newborn child can be protected by the administration of immunoglobulins within 24 hours of birth (ready-to-protect antibodies against hepatitis) and by the timely use of a hepatitis B vaccination (there is no currently available vaccine against hepatitis C).
