It is World Hepatitis Day today, and so I think this is the perfect opportunity to talk about a few fun facts about Hepatitis B, or HBV! I'm sure I'm not the only one who only knows about HBV through the Addams Family musical line, "She's my only Hepatitis B!"
今天是World Hepatitis Day，世界肝炎日，那就来科普一下Hepatitis B，也就是HBV是什么吧！我相信我肯定不是唯一一个对HBV了解仅限于亚当斯一家音乐剧中的一句“她是我的肝炎”！
First of all, HBV is spread through infant/mother bonds, blood, and close contact (or sex), similar to HIV. This is why HBV is an STD (or sexually transmitted disease).
首先，HBV是通过母婴，血液，密切接触（也就是性）传播，这一点和HIV有些许雷同。这也是为什么HBV是一种性病。
The symptoms of HBV include drowsiness, stomach pains, nausea, darker urine, and jaundice. But don't worry, the major difference between HBV and HIV is that HBV is easy to prevent and treat. For example, in China, all children will be obliged to be vaccinated at birth, that is, the hepatitis B vaccine.
HBV的症状包括犯困，失去食欲，肚子疼，恶心，尿液颜色加深，以及黄疸。但是不用担心，HBV和HIV不一样的地方就是HBV很容易预防以及治疗。比如说，在我们国内，所有孩子都会在出生的时候强制进行免疫疫苗接种，也就是乙肝疫苗。
HBV is also divided into two types, one is chronic and the other is acute, and a person may get HBV repeatedly after being cured. The likelihood of severe HBV increases in people over age 60. Severe HBV can lead to liver cancer, but most people with HBV have only mild symptoms and get better soon after treatment.
HBV也分两种，一种是慢性一种是急性，而且一个人被治好之后还可能会重复得HBV。对于年龄60以上的人，HBV严重的可能性会增加。严重的HBV可能会导致肝癌，但是大多数得HBV的人只是轻症，经过治疗很快就能好。
This is just a very, very rough introduction to HBV. On HBV day, helping to raise awareness about not only HBV but also all STDs can help to lessen the stigma surrounding the illnesses, and help prevent and protect ourselves!
