Question 2

breast cancer chemotherapy in hepatitis b patients?

Accepted Answer

Very Complicated: I am not sure we can offer much here. The various chemotherapy regimens are not noted here; nor is the hepatitis status and what treatment you are on if you have active hepatitis b or are inactive. I would believe that you should be able to have full treatment regardless, especially if your hepatitis b is being treated appropriately.

Question 3

what are the possible causes of hepatitis b?
what are the symptoms of hepatitis b?
what are some drugs given to a hepatitis b patient?

Accepted Answer

Hepatitis B: Hep B is caused by a virus and transmitted from another person by intimate contact (blood or organ sharing, sex, etc. It can be prevented with a vaccine.

Question 4

i want to try anilingus on my girlfriend. i know this can cause many problems.  can i get a hepatitis b or a shot.  can i do this with out any risk?

Accepted Answer

To minimize risk: From rimming, wash the anal area prior to the activity and consider using some sort of barrier such as latex dam or even Saran wrap.  Infections transmissible from rimming include all the forms of gastroenteritis which may be viral, parasitic or bacterial.  Hepatitis a can be transmitted this way but not hepatitis b.

Question 5

what does it mean . my test results back as hep b surface ab >1,000 . and in another test its hepatitis b surface ag negative ? is the first test abnormal ?

Accepted Answer

: The pattern you described is typically seen in people vaccinated for Hepatitis B. You have immunity to Hep B as indicated by Hep B surface AB (antibody); and there is no active infection. Lack of Hepatitis B surface AG (antigen) means there is no proliferating virus in your body.
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
