any constant danger still exists in my body?

Question

I was hit by hepatitis when I was 8 years old; any constant danger still exists in my body?
I really do not know how to sort out what kind of hepatitis I had. I do not feel something wrong in me.
Would you please give me a help with this?

I noticed that I still have a light yellow area in the narrow parts in my eyes. Im now 24

Answer 1

It depends.
You probably had Hep B.
Do you have Chronic Hep?
You could.
You need to have the blood work panel for the different Hepitits to see if you cleared the infection, or if you are a chronic person.
that is the only way to see which kind you had, and if you have cleared it or not.
if you have chronic hep, then yes you have constant danger to your liver and other organs.
If you cleared the hep, then you could have had damage to your liver, how much?
Again blood work with liver enzymens.
Go see the doc and tell them what's happened and what is now going on.

Answer 2

You need to be retested. When you had hepatitis, Hep C was just discovered. At that time they used to call it non A / non B. If you're not sure what type you had, you need to get tested. It is possible you had an acute out break which may turn chronic. You need to know so you can take care of your health. On the other hand, if you had Hep A, it does not develop into a chronic illness. If it was Hep B, that may or may not become chronic and if it is, it is highly sexually contagious, as well as through blood, too. You shouldn't share toothbrushes or razors because the virus can live outside the human body for many days. Best wishes.

Answer 3

You probably had hepatitis A, which is transmitted by digestive or by fecal routes. The infected person passes the virus to another person who ingests a small amount of infected material. One third of people in the United States of America have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus. In fact, although medical tests show that about 40% of urban Americans have had hepatitis A, only about 5% recall being sick. Although the hepatitis A virus can cause prolonged illness up to 6 months, it typically only causes short-lived illnesses and it does not cause chronic liver disease

Hepatitis A: There is no chronic infection.
Once you have had hepatitis A you cannot get it again.


I doubt if you had Hepatitis B at 8 Years old, because it is transmitted by infected body fluids. HBV is spread when blood from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not infected. For example, HBV is spread through having sex with an infected person without using a condom (the efficacy of latex condoms in preventing infection with HBV is unknown, but their proper use might reduce transmission), by sharing drugs, needles, or "works" when "shooting" drugs, through needlesticks or sharps exposures on the job, or from an infected mother to her baby during birth.

Hepatitis B is not spread through food or water, sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, coughing, sneezing or by casual contact

Hepatitis C: HCV is spread primarily by direct contact with human blood. You would get Hep C by getting a blood transfusion, or sharing needles, and it is possible but very rare to be transmitted sexually. Although it is possible, because you got hepatitis when you were 8, I doubt you contacted Hep C.
