hello guys,,
last year 2006 when i arange my papers for working in the states(abroad) , the doctor discover that i have hepa b, i'm really surprised although i do smoke but ocationally i drink.

i can't accept that i have that really desease , i got 3 times check up but the same its always positive.

i'm starting searching on the net what was the cause,symptoms and the cure, although many said that there is no cure at all, but few said all i need to do is just take a herbs/vitamins that can supply immune system or can add more immune. I read all symptoms and i not experience any symptoms . all i got is just sometimes i got pain on my nape, and i was thinking that becuase of my job 8 hours facing on the computer. and that's all..

my question is..what kind of HEba-b that i have now? and i don't really know what is the difference in (acute hepa-b)and non-acute?

i got all the list of symptoms here:

I am no expert but as I understand acute means you only just got it, had the symptoms then it goes but chronic means ongoing, had it for years without many problamatic symptoms.
Symptoms are not necessarily drastic & can just seem like Flu, while others can be very ill.
It is possible to get Hep B through unprotected sex, blood, body fluid exposure or drug abuse. 50% of cases are through unprotected sex.
Many Hep B sufferers will get better however they will possibly become carriers as they haven't developed the antibodies.
As such it is best that you practice safe sex untill you know that you're not a carrier.
So in answer to you're question if you had the symptoms for a while but not been that bad it is probably chronic. If the symptoms have been quite bad but short livd then it's probably acute.
Hope all goes well & feel free to get back to me if you require any further advise.

You don't necessarily have symptoms with Hep. B.
What treatment are you having?
