Can somebody pls tell me of a good forum for Hep B? I'm from Vietnam, a country where you can't really find good info on this subject in its own language. Seems like this one is reserved for Hep C only, maybe?
Thanks a bunch for your attention!

I don't think there is any difference between Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. The only difference that I know of is that Hepatitis C is more dangerous to get because 85% of people who get it keep it in their bodies for the rest of their lives. It either does or does not damage the liver. It mutates constantly, that's why the immune system has so much trouble killing it. But Hepatitis B isn't as dangerous because you have an 85% chance that your immune system will kill it. I guess it doesn't mutate like Hepatitis C does. If I'm wrong, I hope someone will set me straight!!
