Hi
Its STD clinic so they Hep B vaccine only,I guess I can get the vaccine in some other clinic. If tested negative for Hep A can I take vaccine?
vaccine for hepatitis A is not important at all, it is never cronic and never makes damage to the liver if you are not infected with other cronic hepatitis viruses at the same time, go somewhere else to get hbv vaccine it is crazy they don t have it, isn t it available at pharmacy why are you looking for it at the doctor
hepatitis A is nothing to worry about it is hbv which is dangerous
Hi Guys
I gave test for Hep A and C, here Doc said they have vaccnice for hep A only, If i"m negative for Hep A then'll take the vaccine but I'm already in Hep B vaccnice will it be matter if take both the vaccine?
actually there is a vaccine for hcv but it is not possible to know if it works because immune system cannot prevent infection due to the hcv virus mutating all the time, the only thing that might be achieved by a hcv vaccine is maybe a decrease of cronic cases but there is no way to know by trials so the project has been stopped
Hep C is not considered a STD and is transmitted by blood to blood contact.
hep B is a classic STD and is easily transmitted by sexual contact. you are smart
to get the vaccine for hep B. I believe it is a series of three shots so make sure you get
all of them. there is not a vaccine for hep c.
hbv vaccine requires from 4 weeks to several months, do check antibodies because about 10% do not respond to vaccine
hepatitis A never gets cronic but it is good to make double vaccine for hbv and hav, hbv vaccine will also prevent liver cancer and hdv virus (hdv can only infect in the presence of hbv)
