Private hospitals are wicked, I was buying retroviral there 20k plus , the supliment almost 40k . I got same retroviral around 7k in pharmacy. You can imagine the difference.
I was first diagnosed 2011, started treatment 2014 , stopped 2015. Mind you that it's not advisable to start treatment and stop because the virus will multiply and get used to the drugs, it's better to always start and finish. I resumed resumed treatment afresh 2025, consistently before testing negative should be over 6 months non stop. With discipline to abstain from alcohol, and drinking lots of water too
Imagine the margin. Sometime I believe there is cure to many diseases but they were hiding it so that they keep getting money from people. I have never take any medication before aside livoline and that's just liver tonic.
Please don't get disturbed about my questions. The results that came out negative, is it HBV DNA or HBsAg?

When you left the private hospital, did you keep taking the medication and supplements on your own, or did you continue your treatment after when you went to the specialist hospital?

Thank you very much.

I actually started the treatment in a private hospital in Abuja, the treatment there was too expensive for me, they were actually hiding the drugs by removing it from the pack and put it in tablet leather, I found out,started buying myself from pharmacy, I switched to Garki specialist hospital for specialist review and became negative.
It's doable. Just discipline, by staying off alcohol and too much oil, exercise too help
Thank you so much. That's how some private hospitals are. They just keep treating you and taking your money for as long as they can.

About how long do you think you had the virus before you were finally cured? And how long were you taking the medication before the test showed you were clear? Also, after you recovered, did you still get the vaccine?

Was placed on anti ritroviral drug, taken once a day in combination with milk tistles supliment,.
Early in the morning, I took green tea with half cut lime squice into the tea. Avoid alcohol,
Take a lot of sugar cane as much and exercise
I got to know I have if 2016 when I had a very serious stomach pain, very unusual, the next day I went to hospital to run a complete test, I never knew anything called hepatitis then, so all test was done and only hepatitis B came out reactive. When my result was read and explained to me. I was like, what's hepatitis B, never heard of it before. I was asked to go get livoline and take it for 6 months, I did and I went back for test, still came out positive. Ever since then i stoped taking alcohol till date because I always drink Schinnap at least 3 short daily. What I understand about the virus is that, you only need to avoid somethings and you'd be fine. Not everyone need medicine in fact, after something one can achieve what is called functional cure but I'm not discouraging taking medication if one is prescribed. Chronic ( 6 months+ ) does not mean severe. It means your body needs more time to fight and clears it.

My brother or sister, with the mentioned of milk thistle, you're actually telling the truth. It's very effective though I didn't take it I only take our native leave Yoruba call it ewe Eyinolobe. I went for test and everything is fine though still positive. But doctor said with my condition, I don't need any medication, and that my immune has started controlling the virus and that I'm inactive carrier and that I shouldn't do anything to wake it. Avoid alcohol and medications. But I'm interested in having HBsAg Negative. You make mentioned of going to a specialist hospital, can you please be more explicit about that? I'm using a university teaching hospital. Kindly reply to this. Thank you.
