title: Viral hepatitis. An important sexually transmitted disease.
abstract: Hepatitis B is an important sexually transmitted disease. The availability of a safe and effective vaccine has unfortunately had little impact on controlling this disease nationwide or in North Carolina, chiefly because target groups have proven difficult to reach. Both HAV and NANB can be transmitted sexually, but are much less important than HBV.
