Basics

Will you know if you have hepatitis B?

Not necessarily. You may have hepatitis B and not have any symptoms. You can still spread the virus to others even if you don't have symptoms. Some people who do have symptoms might have the following:

  • Yellowing skin or eyes (or jaundice)
  • Not feeling hungry
  • Feeling tired
  • Muscle, joint, or stomach pain
  • Stomach upset, diarrhea, or vomiting
