“Drinking Alcohol VS The Silent Killer - HEPATITIS.” by RetroviralS(op):
Baba Shade often heard people asking him, "Can you stop drinking?" You go soon get hepatitis now!… Not just for Baba Shade, this has been a concern for many people who drink. We keep hearing this…….

Sound familiar?

"MYTH VS FACT"

❌ It is only people who drink too much alcohol who get hepatitis.

✅ Fact: Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that can affect anyone.


Let’s set the record straight.

💡Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that affect the liver.
You can get them through:

👉Blood
👉 Unprotected sex
👉Mother-to-child at birth

🚫 Alcohol doesn’t cause hepatitis.
⚠️ But if you’re already infected, it can make liver damage much worse.

✨ The good news?
Hepatitis can be treated and managed.
With testing, early detection, and the right medications, people can protect their liver and live long, healthy lives.

For PLHIV (People Living with HIV), the diagnosis matters even more—because coinfection makes the journey harder.

We’re ensuring access to treatment so no one is left behind.

💡 Don’t let myths steal your health:
✅ Get tested.
✅ Get treated.
✅ Protect your liver, protect your life.

people in Nigeria can not afford to pay for HIV treatment or buy HIV treatment drugs and would rather abstain from sex than to have sex then catch STD that will require weekly treatment so stop encouraging the sale of such drugs or treatment on your website..

if you continue encouraging such then you guys are not different from terrorists.

So are you offering any testing and treatment for Hep Virus victims? If yes share details and cost.

Carefulness is the keyword, anything you are overdoing must certainly backfire.

Alcohol does not cause hepatitis B but it is a fuel for liver damage especially if already infected by hepatitis b or not!

If you drink you'll die, if you don't drink you'll still die or kpai. Stop thanking God for not drinking because nothing concern God with your drinking habits, last last those organs will still weak and you'll kpai like chicken. Say Amen.
Whether you say Amen or not, you'll still kpai.
It is a must. You must kpai and your loved ones will dig ground, put you inside, cover you up and everyone will go back to their normal life. So....you get it?

Your conclusion huh
People should continue drinking alcohol abi huh
Some of the ways you listed as possible causes of hepatitis affecting a person are fuelled by ALCOHOL(ISM)...

Then, many of the chemicals I see people take in as alcoholic drinks or beverages are highly lethal to human health unlike the "ogogoro" that our fathers used to drink then purely for health insurance.

that's the problem.

the things people could afford 10 years ago, people can no longer afford those things today...

today they might be able to afford the drug for treatment, but in future they may no longer be able to afford it and if they don't take it they will die..

so its better to promote abstaining than to promote a payment subscription...

naptu2 if you like block me for 1 billion years I will continue to quote you... I know you and seun are 1...
