Hepatitis D is linked to hepatitis B and is not considered as a separate type of its own any longer.Hepatitis A and E are spread by faecal contamination and are rarely considered blood borne pathogens.he other hepatitis viruses are blood borne, and both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) present the greatest risk for drug users. An effective vaccine exists to prevent hepatitis B infections. In most cases, hepatitis C causes no noticeable symptoms until the liver has been significantly damaged.
