Hepatitis B, or HBV, is a liver disease that is considered more infectious than HIV/AIDS. In 2015, 1 in 5 people infected with HBV died due to complications with the virus. Get a Hepatitis B test kit on STCClinic.com to be sure you’re virus free
The word ‘hepatitis’ comes from the Greek words ‘hêpar,’ liver and ‘itis,’ inflammation. There are a few different varieties of Hepatitis, including- A, B, and C. Hepatitis B spreads via contact with the blood of an infected person or their vaginal, seminal, or anal secretions
An estimated between 850,000 to 2.5 million in the USA are infected with Hepatitis B, though 50% of infected people aren’t aware they have it. Millennials make up 36% of all recent Hepatitis B cases.
While this STD generally clears on its own, HBV can translate to permanent liver damage, cancer, and death when untreated.

When should I get tested for STDs?
Honestly? If you’re sexually active, the best time to get tested for STDs is now.
Many of the most common STDs don’t show any symptoms -- and are still transmissible. You can have an STD and unknowingly transmit it to others. If you suspect you have contracted an STD through unprotected sexual contact, sharing drug injection equipment, or by coming in contact with infected blood, it is important that you get tested as soon as possible to avoid any health complications.
Finishing up treatment? Take a follow-up test to make sure you’re in the clear.
