What is the main purpose of the hepatic-portal circulation?
Hepatic Portal Circulation The veins of the hepatic portal circulation drain the digestive organs, spleen, and pancreas and deliver the blood to the liver via hepatic portal vein. As blood percolates through the liver, some of the nutrients are stored or processed in various ways for release to the general circulation. The liver in turn is drained by the hepatic veins that enter the inferior vena cava. The inferior mesenteric vein, draining the distal part of the large intestine, joins the splenic vein, which drains the spleen, pancreas and stomach. The splenic vein and the superior meseteric vein, which drains the small intestine and the proximal colon, unite to form the hepatic portal vein. The left gastric vein, which drains the lesser curvature of the stomach, drains directly into the hepatic portal vein.

I think it would all depend on the situation, if someone was HIV positive and was having sex with people and not telling them then someone would be okay to tell everyone if they found out. For someone to be giving that information out for no health , legal reasons then you may be able to sue for slander.
Incubation period for hepatitis d?
For viral hepatitis, the incubation period (the time it takes for a person to become infected after being exposed) varies depending on which hepatitis virus causes the disease: * For hepatitis A, the incubation period is 2 to 6 weeks. * For hepatitis B, the incubation period is between 4 and 20 weeks. * For hepatitis C, it's estimated that the incubation period is 2 to 26 weeks. Hepatitis A is usually active for a short period of time and once a person recovers, he or she can no longer pass the virus to other people. It's practically unheard for people to become chronic carriers of hepatitis A. Almost all previously healthy persons who develop hepatitis A will completely recover from their illness in a few weeks or months without long-term complications. With hepatitis B, 85% to 90% of patients recover from their illness completely within 6 months, without long-term complications. However, 75% to 85% of those who are infected with hepatitis C do notrecover completely and are more likely to continue to have a long-term infection. People with hepatitis B (the percentage who don't recover completely) or hepatitis C who continue to be infected can go on to develop chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver (the chronic degeneration and disruption of the structure of the liver). Some people with hepatitis B or C may also become lifelong carriers of these viruses and can spread them to other people.
Can you catch Hepatitis C when getting a nose piercing?
Technically yes, especially if you use a needle that has very recently been through someone who has the virus. There is no documented case of this ever occurring.

What is the causative organism of Hepatitis B?
Infectious hepatitis is most often caused by a virus. There are four commonly known hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A, B, C and D. Other hepatitis can be caused by bacteria, although less often.

When is hepatitis c detectable in a blood test?
The blood test searches for antibodies a body may have created to fight the Hepatitis C virus. These antibodies usually begin to appear about 6 months post infection. A positive result means that you have been exposed to the virus and your body has developed antibodies to fight it. A negative result can mean one of two things, you have not been infected or alternatively, your body has not yet developed antibodies. If a negative result is found, your Dr may order a new test in a few months time.
The hepatitis B virus is transmitted in 1 of 3 ways:
1. At birth, it can be passed from an infected mother to her baby
2. Direct contact with infected blood (needle sticks, blood transfusions, wound to wound contact, etc)
3. Unprotected sex
You cannot get it through food or by casual contact.

More specific symptoms, which can be present in acute hepatitis from any cause are: profound loss of appetite, aversion of smoking among smokers, dark urine, yellowing of the eyes and skin i.e. jaundice and abdominal discomfort. Physical findings are usually minimal, apart from jaundice (33%) and tender hepatomegaly (10%). There can be occasional lymphadenopathy (5%) or splenomegaly (5%).
Chronic HepatitisMajority of patients will remain asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic,abnormal blood tests being the only manifestation. Features may berelated to extent of liver damage or the cause of hepatitis. Manyexperience return of symptoms related to acute hepatitis. Jaundice canbe a late feature and may indicate extensive damage. Other featuresinclude abdominal fullness from enlarged liver or spleen, low grade fever and fluid retention (ascites). Extensive damage and scarring of liver i.e. cirrhosis leads to weight loss, easy bruising and bleeding tendencies. Acne, abnormal menstruation, lung scarring, inflammation of the thyroid gland and kidneys may be present in women with autoimmune hepatitis.[1]

How long you live with hepatitis b?
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.

typhoid fever can't be transmitted through a kiss .. but if your immune system is weak then you are likely to gain typhoidal germs.
Hepatitis C is transmitted mainly by blood.

Cocaine snorting can be a source of infection through the sharing of contaminated straws.
