Hepatitis

Hepatitis is a range of viruses which can seriously inflame and damage the liver. Both Hepatitis A and B are rapidly spread through exchange of body fluids and particularly through sexual contact, especially rimming.

Hepatitis A + B
Hepatitis A and B are preventable, getting a vaccination is as easy as getting yourself along to your favourite GU clinic for a blood test to have your immunity levels checked, and book in for both your vaccination and booster doses.

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C, is more commonly transmitted among needle-sharing injecting drug users, but it is also sometimes passed on sexually among gay men, especially if there is any tissue damage during rough, condomless fucking. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C though there are tests to identify it.
