What about Hepatitis?

Hepatitis B:

Hepatitis B is a virus that can be transmitted through many forms of sexual contact. Hepatitis B infection of the liver can be very serious, and may cause death. You can get the Hepatitis B virus from body fluids such as blood, urine (piss), and sometimes saliva (spit).

Vaccination for Hepatitis B is free and can protect you from infection. Contact your doctor, or local health clinic for more information on where to get vaccinated.


Hepatitis A:

Hepatitis A is another hepatitis virus. It is transmitted through feces (shit) and can make you sick, but does not cause death. If you enjoy rimming, you could get Hepatitis A if you rim without using a latex barrier between you mouth and your partners' anus (ass hole).

The Hepatitis A vaccine will protect you - talk to your doctor about vaccination for Hepatitis A.


Hepatitis C:

There is currently no vaccine for Hepatitis C, a third virus that causes liver damage. Hepatitis C is transmitted when the blood of a person who has Hepatitis C gets into the bloodstream of an uninfected person. Sharing needles/works for injection drug use, and razors is a very easy way to get Hepatitis C. You can also get Hepatitis C through unprotected sex.

Using a latex condom will reduce the risk of transmitting all forms of hepatitis (including Hepatitis C) through sexual intercourse. Also, do not share needles/works for injection drug use.
