Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Hepatitis A" in English language version.
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted faeco-orally. There is evidence for sexual transmission between homosexual men with several outbreaks reported. The specific risk factors are not well defined but probably relate to oro-anal or digital-rectal contact, particularly in settings such as public saunas and dark rooms. Acute icteric hepatitis appears after an incubation period of 15–45 days, symptoms last for about 6 weeks, and it is only rarely fatal. Most infections are asymptomatic (but severity increases with age). Infectivity lasts from approximately 2 weeks before the onset of jaundice to 1 week after.
