B.E. and social problems

Having hepatitis B is like gambling with a high risk of losing. Once you have hepatitis B, there are many possibilities. Although it is rare, it can make you seriously ill and even die. Some people recover. Others can lie dormant for years without showing any symptoms and then develop chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. Some people are not fully healthy because they have the virus in their bodies. They often believe they are healthy. They may not feel healthy for the rest of their lives. Even if they are healthy, they may worry about infecting their partner, spouse, or partner. Some people recover completely from the infection, while others develop chronic hepatitis.

There are also those who remain infected. They are called carriers because they have the virus in their bodies without showing any symptoms. However, they do not want to be called carriers anymore because they can develop liver cancer in the future. They are called chronic hepatitis. It is transmitted through untested blood transfusions, sexual intercourse, unclean needles, and the use of medical equipment. An infected mother can transmit the virus to her newborn during childbirth. It can also be transmitted through ear piercings and tattooing. However, the exact transmission methods of the disease, which affects about 400 million people worldwide, are still unknown. The medical and scientific community have talked about the secret spread of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, but it was only in recent years that the public became aware of the similar transmission of hepatitis B. In fact, hepatitis B was a test for the treatment and prevention of AIDS. The development of AIDS treatment has been slow because hepatitis B virus has not been completely eradicated. The two diseases are very similar. Infected people can remain in their bodies for years and can infect others. They can be treated for years. People can easily be identified by blood tests, but due to social and economic discrimination, people do not get tested. If they are diagnosed, they are very stressed. It is transmitted through blood transfusions, sexual intercourse, and from mother to child. It is more common in homosexuals, drug users, and intravenous drug users. Health care workers can also be infected if they are not careful. Although it is not contagious through contact or contact, it is suspected that it can be transmitted. It is widespread throughout the world.

Young men and women who are adults with hepatitis B have a very difficult time deciding whether to get married. They are very reluctant to tell their prospective husbands or wives. In fact, they should. Even if they are told that they can protect themselves by getting the full 3 doses of the vaccine, it is often difficult to tell them.

Open up, get vaccinated, and then get tested for 3 doses of the vaccine to make sure you are safe. In 2008 , there was a paper in the journal Value in Health that looked at the impact of chronic hepatitis B on quality of life. It looked at 600 people without the disease and 534 people with the disease in the US, UK, Canada, Spain, Hong Kong, and mainland China. People with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis had less depression and anxiety. They had less discomfort. People with advanced cirrhosis and liver cancer were more affected. There are also differences between countries. It would be more useful to conduct separate studies by country. In Hong Kong and mainland China, where hepatitis B is common, hepatitis B is more serious because it is present.
