What's the difference between Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C?

The both affect the liver and cause inflammation. They are both blood-borne pathogens. They are both viral.

Hepatitis B can be prevented with a vaccination. Hepatitis B virus infection may either be acute (self-limiting) or chronic (long-standing). Persons with self-limiting infection clear the infection on their own within weeks to months. Hepatitis B has symptoms that usually start up right away: general ill-health, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, body aches, mild fever, dark urine, and eventually jaundice.

Hepatitis C cannot be prevented with any known vaccinations. Hepatitis C virus infection may be acute (refers to the first 6 months after contracting the virus) or chronic (refers to the time after the acute phase). The majority of people infected with Hepatitis C experience no symptoms during the acute phase. If they do, the symptoms are rarely enough to cause the infected to seek medical attention. The diagnosis of chronic phase hepatitis C is challenging due to the absence or lack of specificity of symptoms until advanced liver disease develops, which may not occur until decades into the disease.

You don't want either one. To avoid getting HepB, go get vaccinated. To avoid getting HepC, always use a condom, don't share needles, and only get tattoos or piercings from licensed shops.

Pamela Anderson does NOT have hepatitis B.

Actually there are 5 types (A, B, C. D & E). Each is caused by different viruses. Hep B & C are spread the same way. Both are STDs, but they can be spread by needles, toothbrushes and any other way that blood or bodily fluids can be shared. Both types have the same symptoms and effects. The main difference is the type of virus that causes the infection.

you can get hepatitis B through having sex or sharing needles anything with blood or body fluid. hepatitis C you can only get them trough the same way as B just take off the sex part,but there is no vaccine for hepatitis C only B

the difference is the B and C.hehhe

B is most common serious liver infection.
