DeLaRue:


You're wrong.

'HBV has been found in vaginal secretions, saliva, and semen. MouthAction and especially anal sex, whether it occurs in a heterosexual or homosexual context, are possible ways of transmitting the virus. '

Flier:
It often goes away on its own, this doctor is just a scaremonger. Saying 1 in 3 people on earth has it is a pure nonsense

partnerbizz5:
I thought you would cite a peer reviewed medical literature.
Imagine the useless site saying saliva can cause hbv.
I needed not run a search to know it's unlikely.
Stop relying on these baloney published on oluwole sites. See shot.

Mcy56:

This insult is not necessary and no need to make it sound less serious cos he was right in a way. Prevention is very key.

partnerbizz5:

See u
Go jor.
I didn't insult anyone

ogb5:
My friend was diagnosed with hepatitis B last month.

He was promptly repatriated to Nigeria from the middle east and blacklisted from entering the country.

Just wasted the money used in sending him abroad and the time used in training him for the job.

I wish Nigerians will take vaccination seriously

Lamay:


I did mine at LUTH. If you live in Lagos go there or any govt hospital

naijabnl:
I wonder why most female dont bother about using protection, without or without they will spread their leg, hehe na you fear go catch sef to do without protection

candelahria:
Hepatitis C is even more dangerous.

abujarealtor:


So sorry about your loss.

I think what the guy you quoted meant is that the disease resolves on its own in about 95% of adults. That is, those who contract it when they're at least 19 years of age will go on to clear it after six months or more in some cases.

In people who are 18 years or below, the virus usually becomes chronic because their immune system isn't strong enough to contain it.

Mcy56:

You did by mentioning Oluwole.
The guy was saying the fact and there's the need to sensitize and create awareness on it cos it seems people care less about the killer disease.
Kissing, oral sx, using cups, spoons of infected person could pose serious threat. Let's not trivialize it.

Ekinematics:


Well infection with HBV is not a reason for repatriation or deportation. Guess they did it because he might have lied in his medicals done in naija.

ogb5:


Don't post information online that you are not sure of, you might end up misinforming people.

The Gulf countries test residents for HIV, Hepatitis and yellow fever before issuing you with resident permit.
If you fail the test then you are required to leave the country immediately.

Resident permit are renewed every 2 years or every 3 years depending on your visa type and you have to repeat the tests before the resident permit renewal.

If you fail the test you leave the country immediately. If you do the test in a government hospital and fail, you are arrested at the hospital and deported.

candelahria:
Hepatitis C is even more dangerous.

Ekinematics:



But not as stubborn to manage as B.
Remember B is the commonest in Africa and remains in the blood for life.
