For many years does people who are infected with the Hep B virus live, if you have the it in your body, like four month and you are 21yrs and it can be cure,, how many years would you live before it eliminates you from the Living Earth.

If first infected as an adult, you have a 90% of getting rid of the virus.  If you were infected as a baby or child, it will likely become a chronic infection (over 6 months) and it will most likely stay with you for the rest of your life.  Chronic HepB can be treated but there is no cure.

"how many years would you live before it eliminates you from the Living Earth."

Answer: Most likely under 100 years.  Monitor and treat if needed and chances are you will live a full life and die from something else other than HepB.

Good luck.
