Let me guess, you forgot to do your homework? If you can come in here and ask us, you can do what we would do to get a best answer and search it in google or something and then stitch a report together from different sites.

Definitive diagnosis of Hepatitis is through blood examination. Not all who gets yellowish or jaundice is Hepatitis B, it can be Hepatitis A or C. There is even Hepatitis E. \n   The antibody & the antigen, as well as the titer should be taken.  Be sure to go to a reliable laboratory. I had seen 2 cases of Hepatitis B, with 2 results, one positive & the other negative in 2 patients.  I asked for a 3rd opinion i the most reliable hospital. Take note the 2 are well known hospitals.

Remember to practice safe sex, using a good grade condom. Make sure that you have had the vaccine for Hepatitis A and B. For C it is very rare to aquire thru sex. The link will give you much info on all three types.

I would get a second opinion..I am a nurse and know of several patients who contracted Hep B and converted on their own..took about a month for the symptoms to leave then about three more months to convert to developing a immunity to the Hep B..this doesn't mean that everyone who is exposed converts..some may be carriers the rest of their lives..I would still contact the CDC and also another physician for other resources...

I'm guessing this is an abbreviation for Hepatitis B surface antigen +. This means that a person has made antibodies against one of the proteins on the surface of Hepatitis B virus. This can result from hepatitis B infection or vaccination with the hepatitis B vaccine. This does not necesarily indicate that a person has an infection it just means that they have made an antibody that recognizes one of the viral proteins. It would be best to talk to a doctor for further clarification about the meaning of any lab test.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a small, enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae.\n\nThe hepatitis B virus is a member of the Hepadnavirus family. It consists of a proteinaceous core particle containing the viral genome in the form of double stranded DNA with single-stranded regions and an outer lipid-based envelope with embedded proteins. \n\nTransmission of the viruses and signs and symptoms of both are remarkably similar.

Hepatitis is a virus that affects the liver.  Hepatitis B is very contagious and it is transmitted by blood and body fluids just like HIV.  Actually, Hepatitis B viruses live on inanimate objects longer than the HIV virus.  You can be vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B.  Hepatitis C is not as contagious as Hepatitis B but it can affect the liver and result in liver failure if undetected.  Most people do not know they have hepatitis of any strand until a blood test is done to detect it in a person's body.

The acute illness usually subsides after 2 to 3 weeks, and the liver returns to normal within 16 weeks. 10% of people infected may develop chronic hepatitis. There is a higher incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in those who have had hepatitis B virus infection than in the general population. Hepatitis B is fatal in approximately 1% of cases of acute hepatitis B. If treatment is followed, the prognosis is good.

http://www.webmd.com/\n\nHepatitis A, B, and C are viral infections that, combined, affect an estimated 5% to 6% of Americans.\n Hepatitis B is spread in infected blood and other bodily fluids such as semen and vaginal secretions.\n How Do I Know I Have Hepatitis B?\n\nSymptoms of acute infection (when a person is first infected with hepatitis) include:\n\n    * Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes and/or a brownish or orange tint to the urine)\n    * Unusually light colored stool\n    * Unexplained fatigue that persists for weeks or months\n    * Flu-like symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting\n    * Abdominal pain \n\nOften, symptoms occur 1-6 months after exposure. An estimated 30% of those infected do not have any symptoms at all.\n\nPeople with chronic active hepatitis experience similar symptoms, but their fatigue is much more severe, and they can have confusion or disorientation\nPrevention:\n# Get vaccinated (if you have not already been infected)\n# Use condoms every time you have sex\n# Wear gloves when touching or cleaning up body secretions on personal items, such as bandages/band aids, tampons, and linens\n# Cover all open cuts or wounds\n# Do not share razors, toothbrushes, manicuring tools, or pierced earrings with anyone\n# Do not share chewing gum or pre-chew food for a baby\n# Make certain that any needles for drugs, ear piercing, or tattooing are properly sterilized\n# Clean areas with blood on them with 1 part household bleach and 10 parts water

Some people can clear the virus naturally (immune system) and have evidence of past infection, but do not have ongoing viral replication (detectable hepatitis viral load).  In fact, most people infected as adults are able to clear the virus (about 85% clear the infection when infected as an adult).  Newborns and children are often unable to clear the infection, leading to risk of disease progression.\n\nThere are vaccines available for Hepatitis B so the numbers of new infections are declining.\n\nThere are treatments for Hepatitis B - these include Pegasys, a pegylated interferon medicine that is injected under the skin once weekly or oral agents.  The oral agents include Entecavir (Baraclude) or Adefovir (Hepsera).  A new agent is being studied - Telbivudine.\n\nThere are different types of Hepatitis B:  eAg-positive and eAg-negative.  This impacts how long patients receive treatment.  Typically eAg-positive patients are treated until the virus is no longer detectable plus about 6-12 months and then the medicine can be stopped.  eAg-negative patients usually are treated for life.\n\nTalk with your doctor to find more information.

Rashid - sorry to say, but no known cures at this time. (There is Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.) For anyone reading this, the best way to avoid Hepatitis B (or Hep B) is to get the series of three shots (2nd shot a month after the first one, 3rd shot four months after the 2nd) over a period of six months. Any healthcare worker or anyone who comes in contact with bodily fluids (whether it's the housekeeping staff or caretakers) need to have this series of injections. \n\nCheck out these two websites for information and support:\n\nwww.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis, and\nwww.hepnet.com\n\nGod bless you and good question.\n\n(last year nursing student, Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide)
