Condoms are an effective method for preventing transmission by penetrative vaginal or anal sex although spread of types A and B are linked also to oro-anal sex.
A better understanding of the factors associated with sexual transmission will enable the development of more effective control measures. CONCLUSIONS: There is evidence for heterosexual transmission of hepatitis B, C, D, and G and homosexual transmission of hepatitis A-D and G. STEI-associated AMR is increasing and has potential to spread rapidly in MSM, warranting further public health attention. It’s possible to get HAV through contact with another person’s blood. People who live in group settings or experience homelessness may also spread the virus to one another. The roles of asymptomatic and/or persistent infection and other contextual factors in STEI transmission are not well described. People with hepatitis A are more likely to spread the virus to people they have close contact with like household members or sexual partners. The infections often cluster in high-risk groups of HIV-positive MSM who are more likely to engage in diverse sexual practices and chemsex, and to have multiple other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Hepatitis A should be considered one of the enteric infections that appear to be sexually transmitted among homosexual men. Sexually transmissible enteric infections (STEIs) can spread rapidly and internationally within highly connected MSM populations and are often associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This article summarizes recent outbreaks and discusses the key issues for prevention and control. Recently, an increasing number of enteric infection outbreaks have been reported in MSM. Hepatitis A – NHS (Hepatitis B – NHS (Hepatitis C – NHS (transmission of enteric pathogens in men who have sex with men (MSM) has been described since the 1970s. You may be offered vaccinations against hepatitis A & B depending on your sexual history and associated risks. There is no specific treatment for hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis can be diagnosed by a blood test. Hep C in the UK is transmitted by the sharing of equipment for intravenous drug use, or in very rare cases through unprotected sex. Symptoms can include reduced appetite, abdominal pain, nausea and flu-like symptoms. It can be spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles and can be passed from pregnant women to their unborn child. Hep B is the most common type of sexually transmitted viral Hepatitis in the UK. This type of infection usually passes within a few months and sometimes requires treatment for symptoms like nausea and discomfort However, the less common way that it is transmitted is unprotected anal or oral sex. It is usually passed on when you come into contact with close contact with an infected person or drink contaminated water. michelangeloop / Getty Images Hepatitis C can cause acute or chronic diseases. Hep A is uncommon in the UK and is more likely to occur in countries with poor sanitation. The virus is transmitted when someone comes in contact with infected blood through shared drug injection equipment, pregnancy, childbirth, sexual contact, or blood transfusions/organ transplants. That’s why if you have unprotected sex, it’s always best to get tested. In many cases, there aren’t any symptoms so it often goes unnoticed. If your partner has HCV and was a former IV drug user, screening would be appropriate to rule out infection. There are several types of hepatitis, some of which will pass without any problems and others that will require treatment. This means they can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. Hepatitis A, B, C are different types of hepatitis which are carried in the blood and other bodily fluids such as saliva, semen and vaginal fluids.
