Can you become an inactive carrier within one year of exposure to Hep b?

[Jimmy1971]

is it possibel your hep b to become inactive within one year of exposure? if so, would be there a good chance for the body to clear the virus in a short period of time?

thanks for your input. Jim

jboyhk, thank you very much for your support. I am a bit anxious about the whole thing. it would take some time to adjust myself to this new disease. Jim

I am not discounting that you could actually have fatigue from inactive Hep B but it is most likely from other factors.

I also feel fatigued alot but I know other people who don't have Hep B who are alot worse than me. My friend cannot get more than 3 hrs sleep at any one time.

Unfortunately even if there is fatigue from the disease there is nothing the dr's can legally give you. The best rememdy is eat healthy and exercise. That raises energy levels.

As I said before its just your body getting older.

Do you exercise? I find that gives me energy.


Your question on what the virus is doing is complicated. Even though its not 'detectable' in your blood stream , it is still in your body since the S antigen is present. It most likely is in our livers but as I said before , the risk of something bad happenning is < 1% and usually after you are 55 yrs old (if you got it from birth).

jboyhk, are you an inactive carrier? if so, what does the virus do in an inactive carrier especially if the virus DNA is undetected? does the virus still multiply or just is asleep? the other thing would like to ask which i already asked many times. if the virus is doing nothing in the liver then why i feel tired all time, why fatigue is considered a smyptopms of hep b if there is no activity heppening in the liver?. do you feel tired and worn out most of time?. Thnks, Jim

Probably not, but not out of the question.
