Hello, I have chronic hep b. But iam not able to understand iam in which phase of the virus. I have low viral load and high liver function. Do I need Treatment? Please help me in this.
Thanks for reaching out Sam. It's important to have your regular six-month check-ups with your doctor or specialist. It is through these appointments that they will help decide if you need treatment as we are unable to provide this advice to you. Not everyone will need treatment as sometimes your body can control the virus and the liver damage itself. Feel free to contact us for further information or support on 1800 437 222. We also have a factsheet with further info that might be helpful www.hepqld.asn.au/resource/hepatitis-b-what-you-need-to-know/
Hi sir I took 2 dose of vaccination and there s any chance to get haptitis B Nd I checked my Hbs Anti body title test it's 75 ml Please suggest me Nd please advise me
If you don't know whether or not you are immune, your doctor can do a blood test to check. If you have completed a course of vaccination against Hepatitis B (through an approved schedule), you are considered immune as long as your anti-HBs titre measures as being >10 mIU/mL. The best way to know is to talk to your doctor.
Thanks for the great question Ragave. There is no reason someone living with hepatitis B cannot marry and have children together as there are ways to protect yourself and your loved ones. Hepatitis B is passed through blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sexual contact and from a mother with hepatitis B to her newborn baby. The best protection to prevent getting hepatitis B is to the hepatitis B vaccination (three injections over a six month period). For those who are unvaccinated practice safe sex and don’t share items that may have traces of blood on them like tweezers, razors or toothbrushes. There are also ways to significantly reduce the likelihood of a mother passing the virus to her baby at birth. It's important to talk to a doctor about how to do this.

I’m glad you reached out Aisha. Hepatitis B can seem scary at times but it is a manageable health condition. The ways you can get hep B are blood-to-blood contact, unprotected sexual contact, and from a mother with hepatitis B to her newborn baby. The best protection for those close to you is to receive the hepatitis B. For those who are unvaccinated it’s important to practice safe sex and don’t share items that may have traces of blood on them like tweezers, razors or toothbrushes. Medication is used to help treat hepatitis B when the virus is active. It's difficult to know when the virus is active as there are not always any signs or symptoms. Only your doctor can help you decide when treatment is right for you. This is why it is important to get check-ups every six months.
