    Hepatitis G Virus (HGV) is an unassigned, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus in the Flaviviridae family that is 40-60nm in diameter and directly translates its nucleic acid, which alone is infectious. It replicates in hepatocytes and is transmitted via blood-to-blood contact like transfusions and shared needles, sexual contact, and possibly from mother to child during birth. While initially found in hepatitis patients without other viral causes, further studies did not find an association with acute or chronic hepatitis, but some studies have shown it increases survival in HIV patients.

    Hepatitis G Virus (HGV)

    Description: unassigned virus in Flaviviridae +ssRNA, 10kb, monopartite, icosahedral capsid, enveloped 40-60nm in diameter, directly translated, nucleic acid alone infectious

    Power: Offenses: Attacks: HGV replicates in hepatocytes. It is spread via blood-to-blood transmission like transfusions and shared needles, sexual transmission, and possibly from mother to child during birth. Outcome: Though HGV was found in chronic hepatitis patients w/o other viral hepatitis types, subsequent studies did not show any association between HGV and acute or chronic hepatitis. Other studies, however, have shown that it has a significant association with increased survival in HIV. Speed: Medium, incubation like that of HCV 3-20 wks Defenses: Vaccines: none Behavioral: HGV is normally found with HCV which does lead to chronic hepatitis, thus avoid sharing needles. Treatment: none Game action: If paired with HIV, you receive an immunity to allow you to remain in the game in the case that you die only once.

    Hepatitis, G this isnt like the rest of them.
