anyway testing is not useful
i mean testing all the time.....retest in 6 months
hcv will heal much less in adults but it can t be transmitted by birth or sex only by good quantity of blood, it is fully curable
anyway testing is not useful there are as many hepatitis viruses as the alphabet with tests not available and all clear by immune system, your only concern should be eating raw organic food and having good levels of vit d between 50-100ng/ml so immune system works at best and can clear any viruses whatsoever even hiv (as said by montagner, the discoverer)...the point is not the viruses (as drug makers try to make panic on people to sell drugs) but being healthy so that immune system works and clear anything without drugs
Oh so it will just heal itself anyway. Well good what about hep c? No chance even though the board is for hep b.
it doesn t matter it is cleared by immune system and makes no damage when infected as adults, recheck in 6-12 months but it makes no difference checking if positive because you ll wait for immune system to clear anyway
So in your opinion your 100% sure I don't have hep?
I weigh 190 and I'm 5'11 they said I don't have a fatty liver, but right before my last blood check I had to take 2 z packs and two shots for steep throat. Could this be the cause of it. I'm really scared because I think I have hep but the doctors tell me different. And I only had one blood test done which was at 6 weeks prior to the unprotected sex. They won't let me get another one until 6 months because they think its useless. Because all my test are normal but the alt and ast.
hbcab igm, hbsag and hbvdna pcr might say if you have hbv but after you have it positive you just have to wait for your imune system to clear, no drugs allowed since almost no adults get damage or symthoms
also drugs make abnormal alt if you take any type of medication you might recheck if that is the reason, but again the most common reason of abnormal alt is chemicals in food and poor nutrition from processed food.also chemical drinks with sugars are poison and can make liver damage
acute hbv has alt in the range of 2000-4000, but it is not the high alt to make damage to the liver but a continuos abnormal alt for years which block liver regeneration and make fibrosis
like for most destroyed livers the reason of your elevated alt is not viruses but 99,9% junk processed food that is sold everywhere,
if you are from US malnutrition like poor african countires is observed and common with processed food sold in your country.look for organic food only with no chemicals at all, have a fibroscan to check damage of your liver and a ultrasound to see if you have fatty liver, check your vitd25oh serum levels (normal levels 40-100ng/ml)
if your bmi is over 25 (common in US) it is normal to have metabolic disease, fatty liver and damaged liver.the reason is the quality of food you eat
hbv is of no worry anyway, adults clear it 96% times and only 4% with damaged immune system dont clear.hbv is transmitted and not cleared by immune system only at birth in about 95% cases, not as adults
