Hepatitis

The hepatitis B virus can be present in an infected persons' saliva. However, it does not appear to be the case that this means an infected patients' saliva is also dangerous, like their blood is.

To keep from getting hepatitis A

- it is a liver disease from drinking contaminated water/ eating contaminated food.

you should get this shot to decrease the risk of being contaminated (your food may become contaminated but it will prevent you from getting the disease

There are no specific medicines to cure infection with hepatitis A. Most people require no treatment except to relieve symptoms. If you have been exposed to someone who is infected with HAV, there is a treatment that may prevent you from becoming infected. It is called immune globulin and is more likely to be effective when given within 2 weeks of exposure.

Acute hepatitis B usually goes away by itself and does not require medical treatment. If very severe, symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea may require treatment to restore fluids and electrolytes. There are no medications that can prevent acute hepatitis B from becoming chronic. If you have chronic hepatitis B, you should see your health care provider regularly.

Hepatitis C infection is treated with antiviral medications intended to clear the virus from your body. Your doctor may recommend a combination of medications taken over several weeks. Once you complete a course of treatment, your doctor will test your blood for HCV. If HCV is still present, your doctor may recommend a second round of treatment. Antiviral medications can cause depression and flu-like signs and symptoms, such as fatigue, fever and headache. Some side effects can be serious enough that treatment must be delayed or stopped in certain cases.

I'm pretty sure they're not contagious but they can pass the disease onto their children if they have any. My older brother is a carrier of tuberculosis but doesn't have any symptoms of it himself and isn't contagious.

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.

The Hepatitus B virus can be caught from mucus or salival contact. So the answer is, yes.

•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

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.

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.

There is no actual "cure" for any of the Hepatitis viruses other than time and seeing if the person recovers or if they end up developing Chronic Hepatitis.

Azo will help with bladder pain due to inflammation, but is unlikely to help with kidney pain. If you have kidney pain, see your primary health care provider for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of the underlying cause.

YES! You can get Hepatitis by swallowing semen. You can also get AIDS/HIV.

The most common early symptoms are mild fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Later symptoms may include dark coffee-colored, rather than dark yellow, urine, clay-colored stools, abdominal pain, and yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice).

Liver

Hepatitis is an infectious disease, and can be transmitted through Sexual Contact and Sharing of Needles.

v01.79 Contact with or exposure to other viral diseases

Yes

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.

No.

Hepatitis C is spread via blood-to-blood contact. So unless both persons have bleeding hands, the answer is no.

ANTIBIOTICS

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.

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.
