• Screen blood for HIV should be given in case of blood
• Anyone who thinks he or she is infected, or who is involved in high-risk behaviors, should not donate his/her blood, organs or tissues as they may now contain the AIDS virus
• Get professional help for terminating the drug habit
• The word hepatitis means inflammation of the liver
• Hepatitis is most commonly caused by one of three viruses

  • Hepatitis A virus
  • Hepatitis B virus
  • Hepatitis C virus
• Hepatitis A

  The most common form of hepatitis in children, caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV) which lives in the stools (feces or poop) of infected individuals
• Hepatitis A can be a mild infection, particularly in children, so it's possible for some people to be unaware that they have had the illness
• Although the hepatitis A virus can cause prolonged illness up to 6 months, it typically only causes short-lived illnesses and it does not cause chronic liver disease
• Hepatitis B

  Caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from general malaise to chronic liver disease that can lead to liver cancer, spreads through infected body fluids such as blood, saliva, vaginal fluid, tear and urine
• Hepatitis C

  Caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), spread by direct contact with an infected person's blood, can lead to chronic liver disease and is the leading reason for liver transplant, can spread by sharing drug needles, getting a tattoo or body piercing with unsterile tools, blood transfusions, transmission from mother to newborn and sexual contact
• All of these viral hepatitis conditions can be diagnosed and followed through the use of readily available blood tests
• Incubation period for viral hepatitis

  For hepatitis A, 2 to 6 weeks<|>For hepatitis B, between 4 and 20 weeks<|>For hepatitis C, 2 to 26 weeks
• Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV)
• A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans
• Most estimates of the incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1-14 days, most commonly around five days
• There are no medications used to treat hepatitis A because it's a short-term infection that goes away on its own
• Hepatitis B can sometimes be treated using medications, and the treatment has improved significantly with the use of two medications, only one of which is approved for use in children
• In those adults who have just been infected with hepatitis C (by accidental needle injury, for example), combination therapy with two drugs is the treatment of choice and can eliminate the virus in about 50% of people infected
• Herpes simplex virus (HSV)


  An infection that can spread from person to person through direct contact, there are two types: HSV-1 primarily causes oral herpes, and HSV-2 primarily causes genital herpes
• Herpes can appear in various parts of the body, most commonly on the genitals or mouth region
• Doctor may prescribe an antiviral medicine in the form of an ointment or pills to treat herpes
• Poliomyelitis (polio)


  A highly infectious viral disease that mainly affects young children, caused by infection with the poliovirus, spreads through direct person-to-person contact, by contact with infected mucus or phlegm from the nose or mouth, or by contact with infected faeces
• The time from being infected with the poliovirus to developing symptoms of disease, incubation ranges from 5-35 days (average 7-14 days)
• In paralytic polio, the virus leaves the intestinal tract and enters the bloodstream, attacking the nerves, resulting in muscle paralysis that can even result in death
• In abortive or asymptomatic polio, the virus usually doesn't get past the intestinal tract
