Howdy Skyracer-
Welcome to the board,
There is a HBV vaccine, it comes in three shots, over several months, seek medical advice Quickly if you belive you have HBV.
Of course someone with HBV can be married, but since HBV can be passed on like other virus's and very notably sexualy- very easily, precautions are a must.
Be well +

Hi Sky--

There are indeed treatments for hep B. Lamuidine is, I beleie, the most common now, although interferon is also used in some cases.
you can try hivandhepatitis in a search engine for much more info. don't let the hi referenc3e scare you as it does so many. this is a good site for reserach based info., using good science, in common sense language.

you can NOT get hep b from sharing dinner or breadfast with someone. or pass it on, either. hep A, maybe, but not b.--at least not as i understand things.


good luck

sorry, the "v" on my keyboard is sticky. I meant to write that in addition to interferon LamiVudine, is I believe, the preferred tx option now for adanced cases of hep b. with any luck, yours is NOT advanced to that point.
there are many newer treatments as well, more so than for hep c., anyway.

Yes, a person with hep can have a normal life, with some precautions taken.

Mostly, I must suggest that you get to a liver doctor, a hepatologist, a gastroentorologist, and please make sure your doctor is an easy-to-talk-to type, and take a pad and pen with you when you see him or her. And take LOTS of notes.

Let us know how you make out.

Hi Sky,

People with hepatitis B lead normal lives. That means a all phases of family life and activities.

Hepatitis B is very common in Asian countries and it is a huge problem in terms of public health there. Malaysia, being a modern and prosperous country, surely must have resources for you to get specific information. If you doctor has not been helpful, contact your local public health department.

I do provide a book on hepatitis B, and you can contact me through the website for more information on how to obtain a copy if you wish.

As with any of the hepatitis's avoid alcohol, smoking and toxins (second hand smoke, chemical exposure, excess tylenol, etc)

I hope this helps,

thanbey
