Hep A and Hep B vaccinations 7 years 6 months ago #21917
Hello Rohcv, Hep A is faecal oral. So you get it from eating someone else's faeces (shit/poo/crap). Using human waste as a fertiliser is one way (we had a problem with imported frozen berries) but mostly it's a 3rd world problem where drinking water and sewerage can mix. The vaccine provides and unknown duration of protection. They used to say a couple of years, now they say at least 10. With Hep B you may already be immune. I would test for this via Hep B Ab levels to see if this is the case. YMMV | |

Waiting to SVR seems sensible but I have not seen this advice. Do you have a link? We do know that in patients with chronic Hep B that Hep C treatment can cause reactivation of the Hep B, so it's a bit like the Hep C weeds keep the Hep B weeds under control. YMMV | |

Do we know anything about the people who had Hep B reactivated? Are there any common features that made those people get their Hep B back? Jeeze Louise, I should not have counted my chickens too early dammit Genotype 1a Diagnosed in 2004, had HCV for all my adult life. Until 2016!!!! Harvoni treatment, started 19 March 2016 4 week results Bilirubin 12 down from 14 pre treatment, Gamma 25 down from 52, ALT 19 down from 63, AST 19 down from 47, VL <15 down from a lazy 6 million or so EOT Results Bilirubin 10, GGT 18, ALT 19, AST 21, VL UND 12 Weeks post EOT Bilirubin 11, GGT 16, ALT 22, AST 20, VL UND Cured baby The following user(s) said Thank You: rohcvfighter | |

As stated earlier upthread, I had the three shot A/B series ... first shot before treatment, second in the middle of treatment, and third ended up well after end of treatment. I didn't seem to suffer any ill effects. However, I still haven't been tested to see if they have given me immunity. The following user(s) said Thank You: beaches, rohcvfighter | |

After week 8 of treatment, I had the complete hepatitis panel done..... A, B, C. They were all negative and/or non-reactive. In addition, even though my HCV was undetected, it was reactive. This means that antibodies were found that indicated that HCV was present at some point in time. As I understand it....this is why we heppers cannot donate blood even after successful tx unless protocols have changed. Anyhow, never finished final Hep A/B vaccination. Didn't really care. Personally, I believe the stuffed up GI Dr wanted to cover his arse before HCV tx. Ironically, I see him tomorrow. Again, I will wave my results under his nose and tell him generics indeed work...SVR12. contracted Gen 1a in the 70's, dx in 2007...ast 27 to 35...alt 43 to 96...vl 1.2 mil to 8.6 mil. biopsy F-2 (2012)..pre tx results 1/23/16 ast 32, alt 46, vl 3.1 mil tx started 2/11/16.... lab results 2/24/16 ast 18, alt 18, vl <15 IU/ml 28 days later.............lab results 3/9/16 ast 21, alt 21, vl UND 56 days later.............lab results 4/6/16 ast 20, alt 22, vl UND 139 days later...........lab results 6/29/16 ast 28, alt 30, vl UND...EOT SVR24 | |
