Hello, this is my first time and i know there has been a lot of first times, but i am so worried because i have just found out I am positive for chronic hepatitis B. I am confuse because I thought I was vaccinated at age 7 i am now19 will be 20 in two days. I guess I had it before, from somewhere maybe parents I don't know. i just have a few question. I am going for an urtrsound they have also taken some blood work to check something i do not understand. the doctor said the numbers are low which is i guess that is a good thing..or did she said it was high...well i don't know she said the number was at some level which is good for me cuz the numbers are like that.
the doctor said I am not active my first question i did not understand the doctor
* what does being non-active mean!!!
* can i still have babies, cuz i truly love kids i even plan to open a day care, once i get a degree after college, to not have my own kids will just be soo devastating
*can it become active? can i stop it so it does not become active?
* i don't drink i have never even tasted wine and i dont plan to and i dont smoke or drugs or anything bad rather then just junk food.
*is there anything i should stay away from, eating, doing anything at all so it can not come active.
*can it ever become active, can a person live for lives rest of their life with a non-active.
*if worst come to worst and i need a liver transplant and i get it will everything be fine..or will i still have the virus.
And why didn't the doctors find this earlier, i mean i took all my shot...they should check right, cuz schools ask for these things, now i am in college I am shock they did not find this earlier, and i use to get a lot of shot when i was growing up, my mother even use to chase me down the streets just to get them...why didn't the doctors see this
