I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www .ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

∙ 13y agoIn the United States infants and children are required to receive a Hepatitis vaccine. This is the equivalent of infecting the child with a small amount of the virus in order to trigger the immune system to create antibodies against hepatitis. The body will recover from the small amount injected and thus develop an immunity against a future attack.
If you have been told you don't have an immunity, this probably means that you were not inoculated against it or simply that your body doesn't have the antibodies to combat an infection. Depending on other circumstances, such as the strength of your immune system, your age your overall health, this could potentially be very dangerous.

What does no evidence of immunity mean in a blood test for hepatitis b?
It means that the patient has not been exposed to hepatitis B (ie is not and has not ever been infected with it) and that the patient has not received a vaccine against hepatitis b.
When do you develop antibody after hepatitis B immunization?
Artificial active immunity. Artificial because it is due to vaccination. Active because the body is stimulated by the vaccine to produce antibodies against Hepatitis B virus antigen.
The vaccine against hepatitis b provides immunity for at least?
7 YEARS
Can one develop an immunity to UTI?
People do not develop immunity to UTI in the way that they may against, say, chickenpox or hepatitis B.
What does a non reactive hep b surface antibody mean?
HBsAg non-reactive does NOT mean immune to hepatitis B. To understand this we have to discuss what exactly HBsAg is. The hepatitis B virus has several components. It is an encapsulated virus, meaning that its central DNA core is protected by an outer shell. This shell is sometimes called the "surface". On this surface are some antigens, which are simply proteins that induce an immune response in the body. We abbreviate these antigens as HBsAg, which is shorthand for "hepatitis B surface antigen". If a blood test reveals that there are no detectable hepatitis B surface antigens, this simply means that the individual has no evidence of being currently infected with hepatitis B. Otherwise, there would be some hepatitis B surface antigens (with hepatitis B DNA inside them) floating around in the bloodstream. To determine if a person is immune to hepatitis B, we must draw a different test. This test checks for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigens. Sometimes this is abbreviated as HBAb, or as Hepatitis B IgG. If the patient has antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigens, and has no detectable HBsAg in their bloodstream, then it is likely that they are immune. But be careful! Simply having Hepatitis B surface antibodies does not indicate immunity! It may mean that the person is actually infected with Hep B. This is why both tests are necessary to document immunity.
Hepatitis B titer normal range?
A level of 10.0 mIU/mL or greater after three doses of the Hep B vaccine demonstrates immunity.
Why majority of children in many part of India are already immune to Hepatitis?
Most of the children get exposed to hepatitis A virus due to not so good sanitation. Only few of them get hepatitis and rest get sub-clinical infection. Most of them get recovered and get immunity to the infection. Even to day also most of the rural Indian population takes treatment from the unqualified doctors. They get the hepatitis B infection from them. Most of the children recover from the infection and get immunity against the hepatitis B virus infection. Same is true for other strains of the hepatitis viruses.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
What immunity results when millions of memory b cells remain in the body?
Memory b cells provide long term immunity for a specific disease or antigen. As an example a vaccination for hepatitis A provides memory b cells that will attack the disease when it is present and remove it.
what do you mean by hepatitis B and hepatitis C reactive or positive?
This indicates that the person who has antibodies reactive to the Hepatitis B or C virus and likely has been exposed to the disease (and likely has it).
What is the difference between hepatitis B surface and hepatitis b antigen?
When your body is introduced to the Hepatitis B virus, the virus is considered the antigen (the surface antigen)and this should trigger your immune system to develop antibody against this antigen to destroy it. Most people do develop Hep B surface antibody when infected with the Hep B virus. Some people do not develop the antibodyand go on to have only circulating Hep B surface antigen - which means they are a carrier and can continue to have the virus and infection. For the majority of the population that develop the Hep B surface antibody, this conveys immunity to the virus for life.
Can you give hepatitis b vaccine to someone with hepatitis B?
There is no harm or benefit from giving hepatitis B vaccine to someone with hepatitis B.
