\nThe correct option is B because the statement “Hepatitis B, unlike Hepatitis C, does not have a vaccine” is incorrect.
\n<\/section>\n
\nVaccination is a highly effective way to prevent Hepatitis B infection. While there is no widely available prophylactic vaccine for Hepatitis C, research is ongoing.
\n<\/section>\n
\nA) Hepatitis B and HIV share similar transmission routes, including sexual contact, exposure to infected blood (e.g., through sharing needles), and mother-to-child transmission. This statement is correct.
\nB) There is a safe and effective vaccine available to prevent Hepatitis B infection. In contrast, there is currently no effective preventive vaccine for Hepatitis C, although treatments for Hepatitis C have significantly advanced. Thus, the statement that Hepatitis B *does not* have a vaccine is false.
\nC) According to WHO estimates, significantly more people globally live with chronic Hepatitis B and C infections compared to HIV. This statement is correct.
\nD) Both Hepatitis B and C infections can be asymptomatic for many years, with chronic liver damage occurring silently before symptoms appear. This statement is correct.
