Getting it
The hepatitis A virus is found in faeces (poo) and can be passed on:
- If the virus comes into contact with a person's mouth through such things as rimming (where a person uses their mouth and tongue to stimulate another person's anus).
- Sexual contact.
- Through eating or drinking contaminated food or water or swimming near sewage outlets.
It is very important to wash your hands carefully after going to the toilet and before eating.
