Hepatitis A spreads by putting something in the mouth that has been contaminated with the stool of a hepatitis A person. Always wash your hands with soap and water after visiting the toilet and before and after eating food. This prevents the entry of any fecal matter that might be the carrier of the virus.


Hepatitis A vaccine is the best protection.

Hepatitis B can be also prevented by vaccines. Avoid sharing needles, syringes and water.


Do not share personal items  such as razors, toothbrushes, nailcutters and so on, as there might be blood on them.  Avoid tatooing and needle piercing.

There is no vaccine to prevent Hepatitis C, but several precautions can be taken to prevent hepatitis C. People on intravenous drugs should never share needles, syringes and water. Avoid sharing personal care items. Go in for tatooing with sterilised needles.
