Can you get infected with hepatitis and not develope immunity to it? |
Can you get infected with hepatitis and not develope immunity to it? If you are infected with hepatitis, then you are going to get sick. You will not develop immunity to it. If you are vaccinated with a hepatitis vaccine from your doctor, then you can develop immunity. I know that Hep B shots come in a series. You have to get three shots over six months and then you will develop immunity. There is a possibility that your body won't develop immunity, and you can have your doctor test your blood to see if you have developed immunity. if u didnt take hepatitis vaccines, and u got infected with it, ure gonna be sick at first. if ur immunity is strong, u will be able to fight th e infection and recover.u might be a carrier for sometime,so make sure u dont pass it on to somebody.but u will develope immunity against the infection of the same type(A/B/C/D/E/F) if ur immunity is low, u will have chronic infection.isnt good for ur liver patho classes Hepatitis A & B have immunizations available. Both are difficult to treat and I doubt that you'd develop immunity from an infection. They are treatable though. Then we have Hepatitis C, and it's not cureable, has no immunization available, and is the leading cause of liver transplants. (Liver diseases are the 10th leading cause of death in the US.) Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is passed on by blood to blood contact. That's not as simple as it seems. Rough sex or anal sex can pass it. Use a straw, or bill, that someone else did some drug with, that can pass it as most often nose membranes burn out & blood products you can't even see are there. Smack some jerk in the mouth, busting his lip & cutting a knuckle on some teeth will pass it. Borrow a toothbrush, (bleeding gums) & you can get it. Same with a hair brush. My favorite is, getting a sliver off a picnic table at the local park, guess who else may have jammed that sliver into theirself? (HCV can live for close to a week outside the body.) More than 80% of the vets from the Vietnam era got it from unsanitary injectors while getting shots from the services. The government fights each case individually, and usually it ends up as a new case with the vet's dependants pressing for settlement. It's not a service related illness in the governments opinion. Best is to test for it early, and try to get it into remission with treatment. It creeps up slowly on people, up to 30 years later is not uncommon, but by then you might as well have a rock for a liver. Unfortunately only 15% of those needing liver transplants get them. If you have any reason to believe that you have been exposed to hepatitis get tested and the sooner the better. Hope it's not HCV, or that early intervention can bring remission. HCV is a slow killer, but it's a killer. Living with HCV. |
