I'm not usually one for over sharing but I've just finished my first week of chemotherapy and I won't lie I'm scared of how it's affecting me, but your enthusiasm for the topic helped put my mind at ease. So thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this today

[brownbridget]

I would like to share my story: I had hepatitis b when I was kid and discovered too late, became chronic disease. It had been with me for over 30 years and done countless blood tests. Been through 2 or 3 acute stage at young ages when the figures from the tests went through roof. However a test in 2017 (subsequently rechecked) surprised me and my specialist, I was cleared from over 30 years of carrying the disease. She, the specialist initially thought I was in her systems by mistake. I had never taken any medicines in the last 20 years. It has cleared by itself. She told me that the chance are probably less than 1% for that to happen. But I want to find out whether there is anything I have done happened to have cured it. One thing I knew was that I started playing regular tennis since 2013 and started eating very healthy diet ( raw & fresh food based) from 2015.

Last week, my husband and I did some blood tests for visa. We were surprised that my husband is hepatitis B positive. Apparently, he got it since birth. My test came negative although we have been married for two years. Today, I am visiting the doctor again to check if I was infected before and cured without feeling it. This video gave me hope for my husband. I pray that he will be recovered.

My cousin recently passed away from it, his only 27, so guys, go for a health screening, take care of yourself.

I have as well Hepatitis B for over 28 years, but this is something that i live with. The real problem is to find someone to accept you. I got so much time rejected that i stopped looking for love.

This is the most enlightening video I've watched. It gave me Hope. Thank you so much.

I agree with you Doc. When I was first diagnosized with hepB in 2015.I thought it was the end of the road. Thoroughly checked and screened at that time and a Dr. told me I didn't need treatment. But after having my 2nd c section for the second born in 2019, i started feeling chest pain and from agakhan Nairobi hospital, thorough checks revealed I had a fibrost liver. Was put on TDF, and livolin in 2022.I am still here in 2024 with very low Viral load, went through my third pregnancy without any issues, and I had a c section delivery of a very healthy baby boy. I'm counting my blessings.
To all who are hepB positive, please don't freak out. Cooperate with your Dr, and follow advise. Above all pray. We have a great physician who is more than able.. Our God. I will live to declare more of his blessings

I hope people especially companies who are discriminating Hepa B Carrier should Broadened their minds, and that they give a chance to work and live normally....😟

[junaidqazi]

Such a capable Doctor. Thank you so much.

[orignaul]

To avoid discrimination it must be better, to remove this test in medical requirements, , hepa B and hiv.. It would be safe for the applicant, employee and give them a chance to work and live normally. Or this test must be separated only the employee and doctors talk about this, not the company because instead the company help the applicant to have work that could be able to provide thier needs for treatment, a lot of them discriminate the applicant.

[cassianmaxton]
