How long does it take after being exposed to hep c for it to show up in your body?
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.

The US takes a strong stand on anti-discrimination--being a carrier for Hep does not preclude you from employment ANYWHERE in the US.

You do not have to be hep B negative to work in a health care setting in the US.

Is there a vaccine available for Hepatitis A?
Yes. Seasonal flu shots for the 2009 - 2010 flu season are available. I just got my flu shot last Friday (Friday October 16th, 2009). So, if you haven't gotten yours yet, then I suggest you get your flu shot as soon as you can. I didn't even feel a thing when I got my shot.
The swine flu vaccines are being distributed for local vaccination programs and to doctors and other providers. They are currently being given to the higher risk groups first but by January 2010 the supply is expected to catch up with the demand so that everyone who wants one will have an opportunity to get the swine flu vaccination, too.
