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.
Remember this is not the end of the world. Gere is some advice from HepB.org:
"Fortunately, 90 percent of adults who are infected will clear or resolve an acute hepatitis B infection. Acute patients do not typically require hospitalization, or even medication, during this time. If you are symptomatic, (some symptoms include jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, fever, general malaise) you may be anxiously conferring with your doctor, but if you are asymptomatic, you might not feel compelled to take the diagnosis seriously. The response to both is to maintain a balance. Do not ignore a hepatitis B diagnosis, but don’t let it consume you."
Recondo, a hepatitis B infection doesnt necessarily mean the end of your marriage.
