I guess if i let this go and trusts all my results i have gotten and die 5,6 years later of liver problems then we'll know why and the cause, im not a drinker im not a guy who gets around with many women, thus is the only time i got with anpther woman outside my relationship and wont ever do it ever again i learned my lesson and it isnt something im proud of

Yes we all make mistakes we all suffer consequences, i made a big mistake to get myself exposed to stds, and you re right hep b isnt the only one to worry about, i was worried of all stds i tested did the right thing to test waited time to test and got all results negative, non reactive except for hsv1, but knowing that the hepatitis virus is more trickier then the rest to test especially hep b that has several tests panels, and longer timer periods to get accurate results to be infected or free of hep b its something to worry about you cant really know for sure whether youre infected or not because tests aren't always reliable for hepatitis

True, certain things we need to take care. It apply to other diseases also not only to HBV. If we take care of Vaccines to family members and practice safe sex, spreading infection shouldn't be a problem at all.

Treatmsnts, yes..Monitoring, yes..we have to do it. I think it is applicable for other diseases also. No one can confidently say that I will not get any disease....Hep B is one of the diseases, that's what I believe.

I don't know if most of the people agree to it, but this is the way I think

There is reason to worry about hep b, your life isnt the same anymore you'll be on treatment for the rest of your life and can infect others. It is something to panic

No need to be panic about this disease. Really it doesnt make much difference if you have it or not.

hbv is always cleared by adults immune system, chronic only at birth/childhood

among adults a percentage around 2.8% of chronicity has been found probably due to damaged immune system
