In this hypothetical scenario, you are naïve (non-immune/never exposed) to all types of viral hepatitis. You are being held captive and tortured on Dreaded Island somewhere in the Arctic Ocean. They will only release you from captivity if you agree to infect yourself with one form of hepatitis. Seeing no other choice, you agree to do so. Use what you know about the morbidity and mortality, the chance of a chronic infection, and the transmission of each virus. With this knowledge, which type of hepatitis would you choose to infect yourself with?
