What is hepatitis B? Hepatitis B is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The virus can affect people of all ages. Once infected, some people carry the virus their whole lives. This is called âchronicâ infection and it can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death.
The incubation period (the time between initial contact with the virus and onset of the disease) for hepatitis B ranges from 45 to 180 days with an average of 60 to 90 days. The length of the incubation period depends on the amount of virus to which a person is exposed.irect contact with infected blood can transmit the hepatitis B virus through: 1  Punctures of the skin with blood-contaminated needles, lancets, scalpels, or other sharps. 2  Splashes to skin bearing minute scratches, abrasions, burns, or even minor rashes. 3  Splashes to mucous membranes in the mouth, nose, or eyes.
