    @@futer0 Thanks for reaching out. A diagnosis with hepatitis B can be scary, but it is a very manageable health condition. Most people with hepatitis B won't look sick, so it may be hard to know if others in Germany are living with hepatitis B - but there will be! Hepatitis B is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact, sexual contact and most commonly to a baby at birth, if the mother has hepatitis B. The most important thing for someone living with chronic hepatitis B to do, is to have a check-up every 6 months to check their liver and how their body is managing with the virus. Most people won’t need treatment. Vaccination is a great way to prevent anyone in your family or partners getting hepatitis B. Deutsche Leberhilfe is a liver health organisation based in Germany that might be able to help you. You can find more information on their website www.leberhilfe.org or phone them on +49 2212 829 980 or email info@leberhilfe.org.

    If you don't know whether or not you are immune, your doctor can do a blood test to check. If you have completed a course of vaccination against Hepatitis B (through an approved schedule), you are considered immune as long as your anti-HBs titre measures as being >10 mIU/mL. The best way to know is to talk to your doctor.

    Were you born with it? By what you said, when you received treatment it looks like it was a relief and you felt energetic for first time ever.

    Hi Roseline, thanks for reaching out. While there is no cure for hepatitis B, there is very effective treatment available than can help fight the virus and slow its ability to damage the liver. Hepatitis B treatment is only recommended during certain times so it is very important to have regular check-ups with a doctor who will check if treatment is needed. Please see our website for more information at www.hepqld.asn.au or if in Australia please call the national Infoline on 1800 437 222 to talk to someone.
