I feel for you, i have just been cleared of Hep B, when i got it the hospital were so unhelpful, they acted like it was all my fault and i deserved what i got (one nurse in perticular commented how i should'nt sleep about!!!). In truth, 3 years down the line i still dont know how or where i contracted it. when i got home i felt like a leper but my family were on hand for me giving me support and researching on the internet for me (even to the point of being vaccinated for me/against me) Are you in the US? is should be illegal for them to discriminate againt you on those grounds, you need to talk to a lawyer. Best of wishes and good health for the future.

The consuption of alcohol - even large amounts - does not affect hepatitis B vaccine.  In turn - the vaccine poses no threat to the liver.  Thus - in the short term - there is no concern.  Alcohol - however - remains the 2nd leading cause of preventable illness, disability, and death in the United States.  As difficult as such discussions may be - if you are truly concerned - you should speak with your friend about minimizing or ideally eliminating the consumption of alcohol.

Here is more than you ever wanted to know about Hepatitis B. Hope this helps you. I urge you to visit the Hepatitis B Foundation Website. Click on the module for an interactive course on Hep B.\n\nHepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Although most people exposed to the virus recover completely, chronic infections can lead to severe liver damage, cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver cancer and death.\n\n\nHow is hepatitis B transmitted?\nHepatitis B virus is spread by contact with body fluids of an infected person. These body fluids include blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva. In about 30-40% of cases, the means of transmission is not known.\n\n\nWhat is the risk of hepatitis B?\nThere are approximately 80,000 new cases of hepatitis B infection each year in the United States. About 90-95% of adults recover from hepatitis B in a few months, clearing the virus from their systems and developing immunity. They will never get hepatitis B again: however, blood tests will always show that they were once infected, and blood centers will not accept donated blood from these individuals. Up to 10% of young adults who get the disease become carriers – as many as 1.25 million Americans are hepatitis B carriers. Carriers are people who have the virus in their blood and can infect others, even though they do not feel sick and have no obvious signs or symptoms of hepatitis B.\n\nPeople infected with hepatitis B who are unable to clear the infection from their bodies in six months are chronically infected with hepatitis B. The younger the person when infected, the greater the risk that the disease will become chronic. Chronic hepatitis B means that the virus is in the blood, infecting liver cells and possibly damaging them. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis, primary liver cancer, liver failure and/or death. An estimated 5,000 people die each year of chronic liver disease associated with HBV infection.\n\nPeople who are exposed to blood or body fluids of an infected person are at risk. You may also be at risk if you:\n\n\n\n\nAre exposed to bodily secretions, including on the job – as first aid or emergency workers, firefighters, funeral directors, police personnel, dentists, and dental assistants, and medical personnel\n\nLive in the same household with an infected person\n\n\nHave sex with a carrier of chronically infected person or have more than one sexual partner\n\n\nInject illicit drugs\n\n\nReceived a blood transfusion prior to 1975 (when a test to screen blood was developed) or if you have received multiple transfusions of blood or blood products\n\n\nHave hemophilia\n\n\nWork or are a patient in a health care or long-term care facility\n\n\nWork or are incarcerated in a prison\n\n\nAre bitten so that the skin is broken by someone whose saliva contains the virus\n\n\nTravel to countries with a high incidence of hepatitis B\n\n\nAre a hemodialysis patient\n\n\nHow is hepatitis B diagnosed?\nThe most common symptoms of hepatitis B occur within 25-180 days following exposure and include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fever, weakness or tiredness lasting weeks or even months, abdominal pain in the area of the liver (upper right quadrant), dark urine and light-colored stool, joint pain, and yellowing skin and eyes (jaundice).\n\nAn estimated 40% of people infected with hepatitis B have no recognizable signs or symptoms and do not know how or when they became infected. The only way the disease can be positively identified is through a blood test. Many people are surprised to learn when they donate blood that they have tested positive for hepatitis B. Hepatitis blood tests are not usually included in the routine blood tests of a physical examination.\n\nThe blood tests for hepatitis B may include anti-HBs (surface antibody test), HBsAg (surface antigen test), and anti-HBc (core antibody test). Although anti-HBs and anti-HBc may be found in the blood of individuals who

They will take your blood and most likely you'll get shots. It's about time for your tetanus booster for starters.  They will give u any other shots u have missed or are due for.

In average, HIV 0.3% x 40% Hepatitis B. But you may reduce the risk of HBV near to zero by taking the vaccine scheme. Unfortunately, there isn't a anti-HIV vaccine yet. The most important way to prevent every blood-transmitted disease lies on universal precautions in proceedings with potentially-infected biological materials.

Is your titre for Hep B antibody or antigen?\n\nThe immunisation programme for Hep B consists of a course of three doses of vaccine, the first dose is followed four weeks later by the second; the third dose is given five months later. \n\nA blood test should be taken approximately three months after the third injection to estimate the antibody titre (the response to the vaccine). If the titre is not high enough a booster dose will be needed, followed by a second blood test after a three month interval. A percentage of the population will not produce immunity, they are classed as ‘vaccine non-responders’.\n\nThe titre is the concentration of the Hepatitis B surface antibody. If your Hep B antibody test is negative then you must have a Hepatitis B antigen titer(Ag HBs).\n\nA Hep B surface antibody of >10 should be sufficient to provide immunity (ie. you are protected).

We don't do Hep B vaccines for adults simply because IT COSTS TOO MUCH. However, Hep B vaccinations are available to schoolkids.\n\nSTD Program routinely includes a lecture on Hep B during their STD presentations and even has an entire presentation devoted ot Hep A, B and C. STD also provides plenty of written material about the disease. STD did not forget about Hep B. It's just that they have budget constraints.\n\nBTW, worldwide, most transmission occurs vertically --> mother to baby during childbirth.

most people have the hep b virus in their blood when they get vaccinated. if you get a vaccine, then you should show up positive for it. do you mean, what will happen if you get diagnosed with hep b?

This is what I have to say about tattoos. Honey, you can get Hepatitis C from it. It is the most rampant cause of cirrhosis of the liver. There is a treatment for Hepatitis C, but only 50% of those infected will respond to given treatment; the rest get liver disease and die. I also just got my blood drawn yesterday to see if I have Hepatitis C. You see we just found out 4 days ago that my husband has it and that I could also have it because I have slept with him. It's no small matter. I'm sitting here scared wondering what the results will be. I hope my test results come back negative. Please pray for me. I also hope for your sake that you choose not to get the tattoo; it's just not worth it. :(\n\nAdditional Note: A lot of people say it's fine if you get it done at a sanitary professional place. What they don't tell you is it doesn't matter how sanitary it is because part of the ink that is used goes back into the ink vials. To show you what I mean...imagine drinking out of a straw. Part of the liquid in the straw goes back into the glass when you are finished. It may be a very small amount; however, it is the same concept with the clean needles and ink vials when people get tattoos. Once you get Hepatitis C you have to get interferon shots 3 times a week for 6-18 months and there is no guarantee that it will work or that you won't relapse. I sure hope my test comes back negative. I will just hate it if it doesn't, and it's so sad that my husband has this. We have an appointment set up with his doctor in a couple weeks to go over his treatment plan. I think people that get tattoos are crazy!!!!
