Hepatitis is the most common and the least dangerous form of viral hepatitis. It is caused by the virus HAV. It almost always heals on its own and causes no permanent damage.
It is highly recommended that people with HIV be immunized against hepatitis A and B, as the illness causes great strain on the liver. Sometimes, if the immune system is weak, the body does not react sufficiently to the vaccine and so the immunization must be repeated with a higher dose.
