doc help
the doctor told me that i am acute,but whether you are acute or chronic it is the same thing he say once the virus is inside you no clearance he said .but i read on some website they say you will clear with 6 month 90 percent chance i just want to know being acute and 30 years what are my chances? is acute phase clearance anybody in this form clear or not ?or once you are infected you become chronic?
if a person recovered after 3 month hbsag will not be detected you say?this sure ?you know any one?
hbcab igm is postive,hbcab total postive,hbeab negstive so i have chance that i become immune or not?
You come up with the test HBcAb Igm. If it's negative you are chronic, if it's positive you are acute.
you seem more focused on assurance!! why not learn more about this helpful replies. you are ignoring suggestions and repeating the same questions!! try to learn more than your doctor.
i know from earlier before i have one girl friend for 3 years she checks she never infected this one is a prostitute her blood touch my mucous membrane,i know this recent but i want to know this 95% thing is it real or not,you also do not know anyone it may be just a data.you are infected as child or young
Personally, I don't know of anyone. This 95% is a long established scientific fact. On this forum, we had hardly any readers infected as an adult and became chronic.
Your persistence in seeking assurance is futile. You don't know whether you were infected from your recent sexual encounter or from much earlier.

i know i am acute this one unprotected sex before two month put me in this situation.did u know anybody who is infected and after six month free of hep b ?
Your doctor's words cannot be relied on.
For adults infected with Hepatitis B, over 95% will just have the infection lasting from 6 to 12 months, and then the virus is cleared. So it is just an acute infection.
For the other 5%, the infection will remain after 6-12 months, in which case the infection is now a chronic infection lasting for a very long time, and treatment may be necessary to prevent the infection from damaging the liver and becoming life threatening.
Of course, it is also possible that you had the infection already (that is infected when you were born or many years ago) and that your are chronic already.
As everybody been telling you, to know whether you were just infected within the last 6-12 months, and therefore may still in an acute phase, you have to test your HBcAb Igm. Otherwise wait for 6-12 months and test your HBsAg again to see whether it has turned negative or persisted.
Having chronic Hepatitis B is not a death sentence, over 350 million people have chronic Hepatitis B and are stilling living and kicking. Hepatitis can be treated and controlled very well, at present there is not cure, but in the future there will be one.
