How do u cure hepatitis b virus?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

There is no cure.: Most cases resolve on their own in 4-8 weeks or so. A small percentage of patients will have a chronic infection and be carriers. Best course is prevention with hep B vaccine and utilizing blood/body fluid precautions.
