Hepatitis B Support Group
Hepatitis B virus infection may either be acute (self-limited) or chronic (long-standing). Persons with self-limited infection clear the infection spontaneously within weeks to months. There are currently several treatments for chronic hepatitis B that can increase a person's chance of clearing the infection.
I got diagnosis for Hep B in middle of last year am in my 30s.but when my doctor found out that I have Hep b I told then i have been with my ex wife for almost 3years and they called my ex wife if she had the vaccine yet for Hep B but she told then No immediately they did test and gave her the vaccines she does not have the virus or infected.she has my doctor if am contagious they told her No.
Toward the ending of the year my doctor send me for ultrasound to check my liver and blood but my result came out perfect I have no liver damage.what she told me I should drink more water and eat healthy food.Also stay away from Alcholo or i can only have one or two bottle.But I was not given any medicine or treatment for now. But in the spring this year 2017 they told me I will be seen a hepatology who deal with Hep B..but my question is am Acute Hep b or chronic Hep b.
Am Active B or Inactive B please if anybody can explain to me.
lastly I have been dating this woman for almost three months but I used to wear condom when having sex but my condom broke when having sex but I did not disclose to her that I have Hep b.But she have not been vaccinated yet for Hep b but am really worried.can I be convicted for not telling her .
hope to hear from you
Thanks
Mike
However I might be able to lend you my experience dealing with Hep B.
If you are HBSAG positive you are infectious weather you are highly contagious or low level contagious levels are dependent on other variables. The advice about alcohol is extremely avoid alcohol.
Get these tests done as this will give a good indication of where your at
ALT and AST
Hbvdna quantative
Hbsag quantative
Hbsab quantative
Hbeag quantative
Hbeab qualative
Igm and Igg
Geno type test
Liver ultra sound
If you are in the acute stage its imperative to make sure you manage the situation the best you can to ensure you don't turn chronic.
To start with
*Make sure you get at least 8 hour sleep per night (avoid working night shifts)
*Completely avoid alcohol
*Avoid all fried food
*Make sure you hydrate adequately
*Avoid paracetamol and antibiotics if you can.
Just my opinion I'm not a doctor
