Possibility of getting hepatitis b after vaccination?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a person is infected with Hepatitis B, the vaccine will have no effect. The vaccine contains proteins from the virus, and these are already present in the person's body, and the immune system has already responded to them.

•Parenteral

-Intravenous route

•Direct injection of drug into the blood therefore better regulation of therapeutic levels.

•The First pass effect is avoided and by-pass all barriers

•Rapid drug action

•Used when drug irritates the tissue

•Increased risk of infection, Pain at site of injection, increased risk of overdose.

-Intramuscular route

•Injection into the deltoid muscle region or gluteal mass.

•Rate of absorption determined by blood flow to muscle.

•Used for injection of suspensions and sustained effects

•Avoid the First pass effect

-Subcutaneous route

•Injection into the subcutaneous areolar tissue and skin capillaries

•Implants produce slow release of drug and constant absorption into the blood.

•Avoid First pass effect

•Rate of drug absorption is influenced by blood flow to the skin. Drug absorption is slower than I.M.

-Intradermal route

•Injection into the epidermis of the skin.

•Small amounts of drugs are administered, ie. Local anesthetics, tuberculosis test.

•Avoid First pass effect

Can you drink alcoholic beverages whilst receiving treatment for Hepatitis C?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While I did find several drug interractions for Capecitabine (Xeloda), I could not find anything in any of my books indicating that alcohol should be avoided while taking this medication. But I would strongly advise asking your doctor or pharmacist before drinking while taking this medication. If your regular pharmacy is closed, you can call any late-hours pharmacy and ask the pharmacist on duty. They are usually extremely helpful, even if you are not one of their regular customers (they usually don't even ask if you are or not). Just be sure to let them know of any other meds you may be taking, as well.

How fast does hepatitis reproduce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the density of the population in the area and weather (sometimes) and the how lethal the virus is. If a virus is dangerous enough to be called a pandemic, then it would have to have a good way of spreading like airborne or waterborne or carried by insects etc etc.

MY OPINION is that if there were no cure for cold but people continued their normal lives, I am guessing that the whole US will get a case of cold in less than two years.

Although vaccinations are given to children and sometimes adults on a regular schedule, the immunity does not last for a lifetime as originally perceived. Vaccinations usually only protect against diseases for roughly 8 years after the vaccine has been administered.

Can you can get hepatitis c from your own dirty needle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Hepatitis C isn't developed in used needles, it's spread by them. So if you are the only user of an IV needle and have tested negative for Hep C, you cannot infect yourself with it by small traces of your own blood left from prior injections.

Can one drink after hepatitis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the degree of liver damage from the HBV and, to a major degree, on how you ended up with it to begin with. Since Hep B is transmitted through body fluids, you did not get it casually. You either had unprotected sex, or you were using intravenous drugs. You can't catch it from toilet seats or kissing.

So, the question is, are you in recovery from any addictions you might have, and -- in a related sense -- did you pick up the virus while you were drunk or high? If either is the case, then you run the risk of triggering your addiction and/or doing something stupid while you are under the influence. Either of those courses of action would be likely to lead you down the road to further liver damage.

Hep B is no joke, and we see no reason to sugar coat life and death matters. Frankly, in your situation we wouldn't touch another drink. Ever.

Can you get hep b by french kissing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In theory, yes--if both people kissing have open sores on their mouths and fluids such as blood come into contact. However, the risk of this is negligible and almost no one has become HIV positive this way. HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva because too little of the virus exists in saliva.

The CDC has taken a precautionary stance on "French" or open-mouth kissing and has said that because of the potential for contact with blood during "French" kissing, this activity should be avoided with a person known to be infected with

Saliva does not normally transmit HIV, however, I would not rule out any slightest chance, since some people have a gum disease called gingivitis which causes bleeding in the mouth, and if even a small amount of blood is mixed with the saliva, it has the capacity to carry HIV. But I would say that HIV is very unlikely to be transmitted by french kissing.
