Not sure what hep is

Some places I looked up says that  certain hepatitis is uncureable. Certain ones only puts the germ to sleep bt could wake up at anytime. The thing is I don't have much signs of it. Unfortunitly my birthrecord shows its in my system. Bt my mom said if it wasn't cleared doctors would of never let me out hospital neither the less travel....

my blood test wont come bac 4 another week or two...kinda curious
if i do have it bt never had signs?
could i have given it to any1????

Ideally would like more information such as what Hepatitis is shown on your birth record.
I didnt think HepB or HepC for that matter could be diagnosed at birth thought you had to wait 12 months or so to be sure.

As for having Hepatitis without symptoms, yes that is definately possible. I have had HepA/B and HepC and wouldnt have known i had any of them.

It really depends on what --- or what kind.

Hepatitis is simply the "inflamation of the liver"

Viral Hepatitis - such as HEPA , HEPB and HEPC are all different in the way they work and interact with the liver.

So be patient - hang in there - and wait for the test results.

I can't answer any questions until I know which kind it is.
