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.
Can you get hepatitis from touching blood?
No.
Hepatitis C is spread via blood-to-blood contact. So unless both persons have bleeding hands, the answer is no.
Can you can get hepatitis c from your own dirty needle?
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?
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.
What food is not good for a person who has hepatitis b?
This is a list of foods/ingredients that are not good for a person having hepatitis B:
1. alcohol
2. wheat and gluten
3. tap water
4. junk foods
5. white flour
6. hydrogenated oils
7. dairy products
8. fruit juices
9. artificial sweeteners
10. processed foods
Can you get hep b by french kissing?
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.
It's a very dangerous liver disease that is caused by a virus. There is no vaccine and there is no easy or 100% effective cure for it. Most people who suffer from it got it from contact with an infected person's body fluids. This usually occurs either through sexual contact or sharing needles used to inject recreational drugs like heroin, or accidental infection in a medical setting (needle stick).

It is wrong to suggest that there is no cure for Hepc! With advances in medicine there is at least a 50% chance of ridding the liver of this virus. There are some geno types that are harder to cure such as geno type 1. However, geno type 1 has a new treament that is very promising by 2009.
can you get hepatitis from a other person that arould you ?
Which form of hepatitis is due to poor handwashing and food handling practices?
Hepatitis A is food borne.
Can hepatitis b virus survive for 7 days in dried blood?
Yes. Hepatitis B can survive in dried blood. If you live around people with Hepatitis B, a vaccine is available. You should get it. In fact, you should get it anyway. Hepatitis A and B can be prevented by a vaccine. Why take the risk?
What is the virus causing hepatitis?
The hepatitis virus is actually named that particular virus for which it refers to. For example, the virus for hepatitis B is called the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the virus for hepatitis C is called hepatitis C virus (HCV), and so on.
Is hepatitis b stay forever in human being?
it will stay with you for about 20-30 years before you have to ever take it again
Hepatitis B titer normal range?
A level of 10.0 mIU/mL or greater after three doses of the Hep B vaccine demonstrates immunity.
What organ can alcohol cause hepatitis?
Hepatitis is swelling and inflammation of the liver. It is not a condition, but is often used to refer to a viral infection of the liver.
Causes, incidence, and risk factorsHepatitis can be caused by:Immune cells in the body attacking the liver and causing autoimmune hepatitis
Infections from viruses (such as hepatitis A, B, or C), bacteria, or parasites
Liver damage from alcohol, poisonous mushrooms, or other poisons
Medications, such as an overdose of acetaminophen, which can be deadly
What are the causes of hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The major route of HAV transmission is fecal-oral, meaning that the disease can be acquired by ingesting contaminated foods such as uncooked shellfish. The infection is very common -- most humans have been infected at some time or another, but the disease is cleared in most without any significant clinical manifestations or complications.

What shape is a hepatitis a virus?
Coccus is the shape and some pictures ive seen is Staphylo
Staphylo-Coccus
Is hepatitis C prokaryote or eukaryote?
neither. prokaryote is a cell or organism with out any organelles while eukaryote have organelles.
viruses are some thing entirely different. viruses are not casified as a living organism as during part of there cycle they do not fit the definition of a living organism. a virus is also not a cell as it is only a protein and a small section of RNA or DNA.
so again. its neither
