What about hepatitis b & c?


know this sounds dumb & know it is. is hep b & c both caused by drug use?

Yep. Both can be caused by IV drug use.

No. Hepatitis B and C are caused by two different viruses, HBV and HCV, respectively. Both can be transmitted by sharing contaminated needles used to inject heroin, but the drugs themselves don't cause the disease. That's silly!

yes
