No, it is a virus passed on by blood, sex, or Hep A can be passed by a carrier not washing their hands after using the restroom.

I am also a nurse, no Hep is not genetic. I is acquired, can be viral, can be caused by damaging your liver in other ways. There are several forms of Hep., you can get vaccines for some of them.

Hepatitis can be caused by several causes, the most common of them are viruses and none of them are genetic. However, some hepatitis viruses can be transmitted through the placenta from the mother to the baby, which may have lead you to think that it is a genetic disease.

Hepatitis A,B, and C are viral diseases and have no genetic component.
