high-chief:
please explain the part about developing anti-bodies

If there is a complete cure (i.e total clearance of the virus from the body) then antibodies developed during the period of infection will prevent the person from ever becoming infected again. That is actually the basis for vaccination.

Telafruita! Pls hw do u get urcef treated....

So amazed, it kills faster than aids but one can be infected for 40years b4 manifestation. So contradictory!

WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE DRUGS/TREATMENT FOR HBV....PLEASE SAVE A SOUL

topfally75: WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE DRUGS/TREATMENT FOR HBV....PLEASE SAVE A SOUL

I sincerely advice you see a doctor and avoid self medication. Not everyone who has HBV is placed on drugs. But currently the frequently prescribed drug is Lamivudine.

The most important thing here is to note that both HIV and HBV are deadly viral infections. We should do everything possible to curb their spread. Please create awareness as much as you can. Go for the test and get vaccinated as soon as possible.

He said Hepatitis B, which is said to be 10 times more infectious than HIV/AIDS, could stay in the human body for up to 40 years before manifesting.

Contradiction.

If something could stay for 40 years without manifesting, how does it kill faster? Can HIV stay for 40 years without manifesting?

It is ony more infectious (spreads to other people faster) it is neither as dangerous as HIV nor as deadly. It is more common only because it spreads faster. If HIV was as common as Hepatitis, then then that would have been greater danger.

Knowing someone infected, read about it.

Malawian:

herpatitis b is not a joke. i had mine 10yrs ago, honestly, i was on the throes of death myself. they turned my body into a drug shelve. all my nyash was sore from all the injuction i had to take, even the cocktail of drugs was almost as big as the food i was taking.

only someone who havent gone through that bas.tar.d virus will take it for granted.

You had acute, not chronic. Acute shows serious symptoms and can kill within days, but the good thing is if treated, that's all. Acute either kills within few days or most times gets healed. Just like serious typhoid.

Chronic doesn't have a cure yet and chance of clearing it is very low. Chronic hardly has any symptoms but slowly progresses over years to damage the liver. Chornic doesn't get cured in few days, you had acute, not chronic.

Jimmychoo: Hmmmmmm. I was diagnosed of the virus while I was in my 300level in 2008. I was placed on drugs and diet for 1year. But due to my poor conditions I could only afford the drugs for 6months. Then the drug cost me 7,000 naira per month. I just had to stop Co's I cldnt afford the drugs anymore. I just told myself am fine and I never went back to d doctor for any test again Co's each test I had then cost alot of money. I advice u know your hepatitis b status and if u are negative u can take d vassines against it. I was not allowed to take fat and oil, nuts, protaneous food. only carbohydrates ,fruits and vegetables. no alcohol and smoking too. though I never took alcohol and cigarette b4. call me on this number Let's talk more 070308033344. tnx

ur number is12 digts, pls type d correct number, thank.

Jimmychoo: if only hep. b drugs are free it would have been better. and the general public need to be enlightened and educated about this bacterial infection called hepatitis b. its curable so how its HIV dat does not have cure better than it? All these our fake naija doctors.

What made them fake pls?

Watch ur mouth friend, do u what it takes to be a Naija doctor? (6-14yrs). Not good to rush to abuse others. See how u now rush to error calling HBV a bacterial infection!
I dont blame you sha, in Naija, they call ordinary patent medicine dealer(chemist) a doctor!!! What a misnomer?

Even HBV has been known to cause intra uterine fetal death for the pregnant women. The only help you can render to yourself is to get the tests done for HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, antiHBe. Now, if it happens they are negative, ask for the HBV vaccine called ENGERIX B. For pregnant women, ensure that your baby is vaccinated immediately after delivery to avoid death....

Delafruita: keep talking out of ignorance.i had hepatitis B aout 5years ago and i was lucky it was diagnosed within a month.my doctor made me realise people die within 3months if the virus isnt detected.even the sympthoms of hepB are crazy.extreme jaundice,bitter tongue,serious fatigue,insomnia etc.a friend of mine died of the disease because he thought it was typhoid so my friend,dont just comment on things from a layman's point of view.hepatitis kills faster than AIDs and 100 times more infectious because it has various modes of transmission and can reside otside of the hosts body for a longer period that HIV.

the liver very important.if stops working for a few seconds,the body cannot be detoxified meaning-death.so try to learn without disparaging the good doctors who are trying to create the awareness.and try to get the hepB vaccine if you havent

Bro...I understand your frustration but its good you get the facts straight.

HBV doesnt kill that fast.

Some variants of HBV destroys the liver systematically but not as fast as AIDS. It will only be faster if the immune system is also compromised...i.e If the person has Aids for e.g.

In a lot of people, you wont even know you have it cos you wont even see symptoms.

In recent years, HBV has increased in Nigeria and Africa hence anyone within active sexual age is advised to do a check.

Like i explained earlier, if you have acute hep b, it is likely your liver will fight it and remove it naturally. this can happen within weeks of contacting it to within 6 months. if its still within your system within 6 months, is likely its chronic hep b.

There are new lab tests that can tell you which of it you have if you have it. once you have it, your SGPT will likely go beyond 40%. (normal SGPT is 0-40%). This indicates damage to the liver.

The good news is that circa 80 per cent of adults who contact it in their adult years will not proceed to have chronic HBV. this is cos of the rather strong immune system for adults.

But where the HBV is contacted as a child (likely throiugh birth), the possibility it would be chronic is high.


As an adult, If you are not sure which of the hep b you have, do a test. Then keep taking livolin forte for a month( one tablet daily).Also do lots of exercises and stop taking alcohol if u usually do.Then do another test after 6 months. The result will let you know if its chronic or not. if it is, do see a doctor.


N:B: on the antibody explanation, what usually happens is that if your body recovers from HBV infection, the blood would have developed antibodies which will resist the virus in future. That is also what a vaccine would do- develop the antibodies to resist the HBV Virus.

I hope this was helpful?

I like your courage my friend. The truth is so much has been given to HIV/AIDS at the expense of other killer diseases like Hep B. HIV cannot survive outside of a living tissue for long but Hep B virus does for example if a drop of blood containing HIV drops on the floor, the HIV would live just as long as the cells in the drop of blood live. as soon as the cells die the HIV dies. But Hep B virus would continue to live even in that dried drop of blood for days and can still infect any open tissue that comes in contact with it. Now imagine how many people touches public spaces with open wounds and unwashed hands and all( Never leave a wound or open tissue uncovered please). Government and NGO's need to step up campaign on HBV and C. Awareness and screening are the strategies that can stem these rampaging/ravaging liver infections. The liver goes, the whole body follow in no time. Let's protect our livers.

MY TESTIMONY, FINALLY NEW HOPE OF LIFE HAVE ARRIVED!
My name is Sandra Moses my friends call me Sandy, I was born in Edo state, there I finish my secondary education before I proceed to university in Ghana where I studied pharmacy and later specialized in pharmacognosy, I am 32 years of age.
MY CLINICAL
When I was doing my clinical in Ghana I was opportune to be posted in ART department (department that care for HIV/AIDS infected people) I performed well in area they called treatment preparation for patients and adherence. Why I performed well was because I care and always fell petty for the infected patients and as such I always ask after them to the point of having their mobile contact with me.
MY INVENTED IDEA
I initiated on my own, those I started on drugs for two weeks appointment instead of given them 14 tablet of the ARV (drugs for HIV patients the regimen I usually place patient on TDF/3TC/EFV 300/300/600mg) I normally gave them 16 tablet and told them to come next clinic appointment with the remnant of their regimen (their remaining drugs) that was to enable me know if they are taking their drugs although patients may not have the idea of what I am doing. Whenever my patients came for clinic appointment and I saw them doing well I do have an inner joy and felt achieved.
MY OBSERVATION ON PATIENTS
The hospital that I was working with enrolled more than 250 patients on care, I do see them visually every 1 to 2 months periodically, I continued to observe this patients critically 60% of patients are doing very well base on adherence, while 25% are lost to follow up patients especially before I joined the hospital, the remaining 15% adhere to their drugs religiously but were not doing very well, that gives me much concern I started looking a way to help this stagnant patients to improve, I enquired about immune boosters that can supplement the patients drugs, I was able to discovered some from US the cost implication was too high to the point that relatively few can afford it about $250 for 60 tablets, although few patients ordered the supplement and it increase their CD4 count (immunity level).
LIVING MY WORK AFTER CLINICAL TO NGO WORK
Because of my hard working and relationship with HIV patients I was automatically employed by an NGO that care for HIV patients in Ghana and the facility I did my clinical was one of their partnering site. In NGO work there I learnt that everything they do is based on target, number of patients to test will be given to them, number of those to enroll on treatment and care. They received their money from agencies like CDC, USAID e.t.c, and their funding is not constant, I began to worried about the unaware patients of this situations and a lot of millions of people out there who do not know their status, I began to think of alternative if American withdraw their support on HIV drugs, I began to worried about politics surrounded this disease. Throughout my two years of NGO work I showed exceptional kindness to those patients I visited in different hospital.
MY NEW WORK AND LOVE LIFE
I came into Nigeria in 2013 when I got a new job in Lagos in a pharmaceutical company as an R& director (research and development) each time I visited India on behalf of my company I often pick interest on what is going on in HIV and antiretroviral therapy studies, I know what synthetic formulations does in patients system I focuses my attention on natural supplement or even herbal mixture as some call it. Although I have left NGO work but still in contact with some patients, all of these was to keep the HIV patients I met in Ghana in a healthy condition irrespective of their status.
I knew the secret of treating/managing any virus/viral infection “efficacy of any formulation or mixture most have billions of unsynthesis active indigent’s and fall in to one category of function i.e (Tetherin is a host restriction factor that blocks
the release of newly formed enveloped viruses, thereby limiting cell
to cell viral replication.
(i) Many Preliminary studies suggest that Tetherin impairs
the release of HIV-1, HIV-2, other retroviruses, Lassa virus-like
particles (VLPs) and Ebola VLPs.
HIV 1 &2 and many enveloped viruses are believed to
produce proteins that disable Tetherin.
(ii) Bridging this pathway will slow down viral
replication and give the victim a chance for an effective antiviral
response / recovery. And this can only achieved by highly natural immune booster)


One faithful afternoon I returned from India at Lagos airport I met old school mate of mine Linus, Linus came from south east part of Nigeria we schooled together because back then his parents was residing in Edo state. He used to stay close to me in our mix school, then I was fond of him and he was equally attached to me, but as a juvenile he was unable to summon courage to tell me that he loves me, but from his care to me and actions I really know and convinced that he loved me, as young ones we do not know if its infatuation or real love. On that faithful afternoon looking at the handsome young man he hug me and looking at my eyes and asked me have I married I reply no I was waiting for you all the years he said thanks for that.
There at the airport he told me that he just arrived from US and he has been a medical doctor specialized as gynecologist I equally told him my pass year’s achievement, both of us was attracted to each other more powerful than ever to the point that he has to live his friends waiting for him at airport and follow me in official car sent by my office. He spent the whole time with me to the point I have to plead with him to go and see his parents after 2 days.
MY DATING LIFE
After one month he went back to the state and often call three times daily, he planned for me coming over to the United States I refused with reasons that I have a well-paying job in Nigeria and love the work I am doing, He later suggested coming down to Nigeria to opened his own clinic which I sported the idea, the first time we met at the airport went home spend more time together at my house we did not have sex, but we kiss and romance each other, I was skeptical about his status and trying to know his present life styles.
The second time he visited Nigeria two months after the first visit he came to my house direct in Lagos and spend more time with me, being a woman that is living alone lock ran out of me, I was not planning having sex with him. After our outing one faithful Sunday we both came back home he went to his room and called for a bottle of water, I entered his room with the water he held me and gave me a wilt kiss I couldn’t hold myself as a lady that finished seeing her menses, neither do I have a sachet of condom in the whole house I gave up to him. He continued, subsequent times was very easy for him because he has known my weak point.
APPROACH TO MARRIAGE
After six months Linus came back and told me that we need to take this relationship to another level, that it’s the right time for him to see my parents I accepted he gave me a ring which I collected, I suggested as we both clinicians its wise thought we know our genotype, blood group, and HIV status. He accepted and said we should go to his friend who is a medical lab scientist in Lagos I accepted, but prior to that two months I did those test and I was HIV negative which I cannot hold on the result because of issue of receptor and window period in HIV.
As we are waiting for the result his mood change he was no longer comfortable he was going in and out with the scientist as that was going on I received a call from my office I told him to go home from there that I will see him later, in the evening the same day he came to my house and refuses to go back to his house, but often time he do have cold and running nose I normally attribute it to change of environment.
On the following morning weekend we both went to his house, as we were there he received a call from a friend and left me alone in his house, I went up to park some of his dirty cloth to drycleaner, while searching for some dirty cloth inside his bag in his wardrobe, behold I saw an ARV drug (AZT/3TC/NVP 300/150/200mg fixed Dose combination Adult first line). I was confused and bother not to ask him about the result anymore.
Later on, we went and see my parents everyone was happy with us what a handsome young guy everybody was telling us perfect match, within me I know that I had 99% chances of becoming HIV positive because often time we had unprotected sex even under friction. I started showing much care to him and often make sure that there are condoms both in his house and mine.
One faithful morning I reminded him “have you taken your drugs?” he said which drugs I went and brought it with a glass of water, he burst into tears and cried like a baby, I told him do not worry I know he don’t want to lose me that why he was hiding it from me I fully understood let take the condition we can’t not change in good faith and always look on God for a relief. I promised him to go on with the marriage even though that I was not positive at that time, but pleaded with him to give more time to prepare myself on what I will soon face.
OUR LIVES AS HIV POSITIVE
I help him to be taken his drugs, after six months I went to lab I was tested HIV positive I check my CD4 count it was CD4 = 801 cells/mm3
While his own was CD4 = 349 cells/mm3 after series of months he maintained his routine drug his CD4 increases with only 50 cells whenever he stressed himself the CD4 will always go down I has been trying many immune booster on him both non have significant change. Mine was as well coming down as month’s passes but I was not on drug as I was still > 500 cells/mm3 I discovered that my husband to be fell in the category first 15% patients classification I made when I was working with NGO in Ghana.
MY TESTIMONY FINALLY NEW HOPE OF LIFE HAVE ARRIVED!!!
I we have battled with this illness for three years now, to the point that I am well acquainted with all the formulations of immune boosters in the market in other to help myself and my fiancé.
This was an ongoing process we were till early month last month October 2014 I was going through my Facebook I saw a page Dr. Aladdin’s NARV-P immune booster I click on it and go to their website it and found that are F.A IKE & SONS the maker of Dr. Aladdin’s 7keys herbal mixture I quickly recalled when I was a baby I had measles the 7keys herbal mixture was used on me and within 4 days I regained myself, since them I have been prescribing the herbal mixture to others for measles and chicken pox none has failed them especially when they got the original from the right source.
I went to the website http://www.draladdin.com under the contacts I called their hot line, someone pick I ask is this Dr. Aladdin NARV-P a new product? The person replied yes! I ask again is it really an immune booster the person said for sure! I Place my order paid and continue to call till they delivered.
Before then my (fiancé) check his CD4 count on 29th of September 2014 it was (382 cells/mm3 ) and my own CD4 was (621 cells/mm3 ) I have already made up mind to start taken antiretroviral.
But we decided to try this last chance from Nigeria, I started with 20ml three time daily and put my fiancé on 20ml twice daily as he was still on his ARV, within two weeks his regular running nose stop he started having a new look. I don’t have any symptoms but always fill week whenever I have a stressful day, I started improving on that.
On 30th October 2014 we both went to CD4 test, his CD4 increase drastically from (382 cells/mm3 ) to (619 cells/mm3) and mine equally increase tremendously (857 cells/mm3) we both are healthy now than ever and seriously planning our wedding next month.
There millions of people out there I wish to sensitize with my experience and giving them hope that there are alternative to ART and even if NGO programs closes we still have hope. Presently there is scarcity of ART in the country that is why I shared my experience because I know what you people passing through as per living a positive live.
SUMMARY:
1. Dr. Aladdin NARV-P is a powerful immune booster
2. I saw it as an alternative to ART
3. I have test it and confirmed
4. Once you are on it your CD4 will increase and your viral load will go down.
5. This 100% natural supplement is a secret every one need to know about not only people living with HIV, both people having hepatitis B and other terminal diseases.

There is hope and the hope is within our reach now! This information is free pass it to everyone post to many peoples page on Facebook (YOU MIGHT SAVE A DYING SOUL OUT THERE AND AS A RESULT GOD WILL BLESS YOU IN ANOTHER MARVELOUS WAY AS HE HAS BLESSED ME TODAY)
It’s essential because IF YOU’RE NOT INFECTED YOU ARE AFFECTED!!!
