can hiv be cured because i think so because i found out that hepatitis b which is a viral std can be cured which hiv is also viral . ?

Question

Can toilet water transfer hiv, hepatitis c, or any other stds?

Answer 1

Not yet.: Hepatitis b can sometimes be cured with combination antiviral treatment given over 6 to 12 months. Hiv/aids can be controlled for decades with combination antiviral treatment but cannot yet be cured.

Answer 2

No cure for HIV: Most viruses are cured by the immune system, and a few can be cured with drugs. Hepatitis B is one of these; in most people the immune system clears it up and drug treatment often is effective as well. Unfortunately, HIV is not such a virus. It can be suppressed with treatment, and most people now can expect to live nearly normal lives. There is hope for a cure someday, but not yet.

Answer 3

No: Birth control pills effectively prevent pregnancy when used correctly. They do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. You should use a condom to decrease your risk.

Answer 4

Yes: They do confer a small amount of protection but you should use condoms and good judgement picking partners for more complete protection.

Answer 5

No: This is not currently known to be a risk of hepatitis b vaccine.

Answer 6

No: Absolutely not, no one knows what causes diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and other similar diseased such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, but all involve an autoimmune reaction in which the immune system starts to attack parts of the body.

Answer 7

No: Ms, or multiple sclerosis, is a neurological disease that can cause weakness, poor balance, visual problems, and a host of other neurologic symptoms. It is lifelong, with waxing and waning severity in most cases. Cause is uncertain; genetics and environment likely playing a role. There is currently no medical or scientific evidence that Hepatitis B Vaccine increases one's risk of developing ms.

Answer 8

No: Although the question of a connection between MS and the Hepatitis B Vaccine was raised, it was based upon innuendo and false information. The facts as we know them demonstrate absolutely no relationship. The vaccine is safe.

Answer 9

No: Not that i know of. I am aware that Hepatitis B Vaccine had been blamed for causing type i diabetes, of course, without merit. Ms is still a dreadful condition whose etiology remains elusive. Human herpes virus type vi, well known cause of roseola, has been implicated in some cases of ms.

Answer 10

No: Ms is more common in people who live their childhood years farther away from the equator, which in the northern hemisphere means that a child's risk of MS increases if he moves farther north and lives there before adolescence. Ms occurs in people who do not get the hepatitis b vaccine, as well as in persons who do receive the vaccine, but one does not cause the other. The cause of MS is unknown.

Answer 11

No: Vaccines do NOT cause MS

Answer 12

Dangerous disease: Newborns are at risk of hepatits b if the mom is infected and doesn't know it. Some people are silent carriers of this disease. I recommend it at birth even if mom tests negative because it is a safe, effective vaccine against a very bad disease, which causes liver cancer and cirrhosis. It is a series of three shots, and it is required for school attendance.

Answer 13

Life time risk of 5%: Overall lifetime risk of contracting hepatitis b is approaching 5% and higher for some people and in some locations. In addition, shots work far better in younger people and even better in infants, thus the majority of shots being given at this age bracket. Even teenaged patients are ancient when it comes to immunologic response to vaccines and this is the main reason to immunize at a young age.

Answer 14

Safe and effective: Hepatitis b is a serious disease; it can lead to liver cancer and cirrhosis. Expectant mothers are tested for hep b during pregnancy but they may become infected after testing is done. To assure a baby never gets this disease, hep b vaccine is used at birth. The vaccine is safe and it works. In addition, we never think our kids are "at risk" of getting an "adult" disease; until they have it.

Answer 15

Risk is ever-present: As protective as we parents try to be, certain risks are ever-present. Since we don't have the proverbial crystal ball to determine all risks, prevention is best. Who knows if our children will inadvertently be exposed to infected blood products that can transmit the hep b virus? The vaccine sets up the body's defense before infection occurs.Thankfully the vaccine is proven safe and effective!

Answer 16

Hep B vaccine was...: ...Originally tested in countries where most people were infected at birth, then went on to infect their own children at their birth, and died young of liver cancer. The vaccine worked extremely well and safely. Once we knew this, there seemed to be no reason to wait longer.

Answer 17

He doesn't: While hepatitis is a serious disease, the hepatitis vaccine, in my opinion, is not necessary in children with no risk factors. If mom had prenatal care and is hepatitis negative, and the baby will not be in a high risk environment, I do not see the need to give it right away. It can be done later if necessary. You may want to do more research on your own.

Answer 18

At risk from birth: A child is at risk of catching hepatitis b, from the day he is born. So, the vaccine is usually started on that day. Hepatitis b virus is in blood and bodily fluids, and is very contagious. Almost all people who are carriers of hepatitis b "look normal", so one cannot tell who is carrying the virus, among the general population.

Answer 19

Yes and yes: Hepatitis b vaccine appears to have no harmful effects on pregnant women, fetuses, and babies. Women at low risk for hepb can get their shots after delivery. Babies get their hepb shot shortly after birth, and hepa shot at 18-24 months. Hepatitis a vaccine has less safety information than hepb vaccine, but hepa vaccine also appears to be safe during pregnancy, if a woman can't wait until delivery.

Answer 20

Yes and Yes: Both hepatitis vaccines-a and b -are safe in your scenario as long as they are following current age and health guidelines.

Answer 21

Yes: This vaccine is not made from live virus and is ok to receive while pregnant.

Answer 22

Yes: But hepatitis b vaccination success should be confirmed 6 months after the series to ensure immunization and protection. Check a hepatitis b surface antibody blood test, also called hbsab.
