Abstract:
At present, there is still controversy over sexual transmission as one important mode of transmission for viral hepatitis, and many epidemiological investigations have confirmed that the transmission of viral hepatitis is closely associated with sexual contact in high-risk adults. This article elaborates on the current status of epidemiological studies on viral hepatitis A, B, and C and discuss related etiologies and pathogeneses, in order to raise the awareness of sexual transmission of viral hepatitis.
