I have had the Hep B in my whole life since I was born.  I am still a health person. However, it is difficult for me to tell my potential partner about this issue. Thus, I decide to be a single for a long term.

I am sorry to hear about your husband. I do have Hepatitis but mine is Autoimune and I know that it can be scary news. I also have a beautiful family (hubby and a 5 years old son) and I want to live a long and healthy life for them. Please check the Mayo Clinic website for answers... they have very good information with details about treatment options. My best Wishes for you!
