Which highly infectious disease primarily affects the liver?

  1. HIV

  2. HBV

  3. HCV

  4. HPV

The correct answer is: HBV

Hepatitis B (HBV) is the highly infectious disease that primarily affects the liver. HIV (A) primarily affects the immune system, not the liver. HCV (C) also primarily affects the liver, but it is not as highly infectious as HBV. HPV (D) is a sexually transmitted infection that primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes, not the liver.
