Answer 1

The hepatitis B virus is transmitted through contact with the blood and body fluids of someone who is infected — the same way the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, spreads. Yet hepatitis B is nearly 100 times as infectious as HIV.
Please see the web pages for more details on Hepatitis B.

Answer 2

Not everyone with hep B needs to be on meds. If your doctor decides that you require medication therapy, there's no one dosing schedule. Some treatments, such as Intron-A, are given by injection several times a week for 6 months to 1 year or longer. Another, Pegasys, is a once a week injection for 6 months to one year. Epivir-HBV is a once a day tablet taken for 1 year or longer. There are several other medications with varying dosing schedules. Your doctor will decide if any of these are appropriate for you. The goal should be to avoid chronic hep B.

Transmission is through blood, sweat, tears, saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, menstrual blood and breast milk. Bear in mind that having hep B doesn't necessarily mean that you're infectious to others. Speak to your doctor about your specific status. If your doctor recommends that your boyfriend be tested then tell him. It may be wise to avoid sharing food until you know what your infection status is. Ask your doctor if she recommends that you take a leave of absence.

As to what you should do now, stay in touch with your doctor and follow her advice and recommendations.

Answer 3

you have hepatitis b, nothing is good about that. your liver can be okay too...it is not always damaged. however, have you been checked for hepatitis c as well? totally different viruses (b is a dna virus) c is an rna.....
being tired and headaches and mild fever and vomiting are all symtpoms of hepatitis b (or c for that matter!)
the most common misconception is that in chronic liver disease, yellowing does not occur unless the virus attacking your liver (and your body) is either acute (fast acting) or this will occur in end stage liver disease.
having hbv can cause liver diseases of other kinds...i would certianly see if your a good canadite for antiviral chemotherapy....

good luck
p.s. eat a well balanced diet, try to get most of your protein sources from non-red meats. lay off the iron found in foods as well as multivitamins and if you experience panic attacks for goodness sake, do not consume caffiene! drink water only!
change of lifestyle is a MUST. no alcohol at all-not even the kind you rub on skin!

hbv is contagious through all bodily fluids....your boyfriend should be tested as this could be the reason why your liver seems to test out okay now-maybe a recent infection given to you by your boyfriend. for the most part hbv is a disease that can be misdiagnosed as the flu or other diseases....so don't blame him if he is infected. truth is, you okayed to have sex without protection and he could of not even known he was infected.

As I read your question, I have to tell you that I began to pray first of all. What little I do know about HepB could fill a thimble, but I have nurses for family members and this is what I have been told: Hep B is basically spread as a result of sexually transmitted relationships. First, understand that you are not doomed, but you must take care of yourself in spite of what you may or may not be "feeling" right now. "Feelings" have nothing to do with this disease - it's in your blood and you have options. 1) Please continue to see your physician for treatments (innoculations every few months) 2) Please take every precaution from hence forth in sexual activity 3) Please get counseling and resource materials and read, read, read so that you are educated and made aware of what is happening to you. 4) Please read the Word on what is said about healing. The two websites I have given you are very involved and provide detailed information about HepB and answer the questions you have. I strongly urge you to seek your physicians' advice for your situation - keeping in mind that all are different - the fact that you are a hostess and involved in serving the public puts you even more at risk.....YOU MUST BE CAREFUL! Please do not have sex without a condom again - boyfriend or not - you're in the air - he's on the ground - nobody knows for sure what another person is capable of doing - no matter how long the relationship. Please also note that I would be happy to discuss this further and more private if you wish. My greatest desire right now is to make you aware that you are already healed, but you must not fear and you must walk in faith. Thank you and God bless you sister.

Answer 5

Since your lever was in good condition you should have your liver checked out now.

Answer 6

You are a carrier, even though your liver is all right. You can transmit the disease sexually. You cannot spread it by sharing food, unless you and your friends have bleeding gums. you should have regular ultrasound examination and liver enzymes. You can develop liver cancer.

Answer 7

seem at organic anti-virals like collodal silver, olive leaf concentration, and grapefruit seed extract they have been shown to be very powerful virus killers. verify them out on line.
