I call it the known and unkown silent Killer because people are aware and some are not even aware of it and one might not even get a symptoms before it eventully get rid of ones life gradually.
Commonly what many people know about is HIV and the awareness is almost everywhere but another virus that is as deadly as the HIV is in existence.Yes, i am talking about the Hepatitis B, a virus that can be contacted by an infected person throuh body sweat fluids, unprotected sex, kissing as well.
The virus has 2 stages known as the Acute and the chronic or severe level.
The Acute can only last for weeks or months and fade off, while the severe or chronic Hepatitis can last more than 6 months or more which eventually lead to further damage to the liver or liver cancer.
The Hepatitis B infection causes scarring of the Liver, Liver malfunction and surely cancer of the Liver. In some cases it can become fatal if not treated or managed well. It can be spread easily as stated above through unprotected sex, kissing, body fluids or open sores.
Adults infected with the deadly Virus may clear the virus overtime at the Acute level, but people infected with the severe or chronic Hepatitis B may not get rid of it naturally, it stays long for a life time and can be managed and treated to the minimum level which it will be harmless.
Are you surprised by all these? It is vital you go get yourself checked nw in order to know your status, the Virus may giv you little or no symtops before it statrts to damage a Liver.
As of now, there has been no cure for it but it can be managed.
I hope this piece can be useful for those that are unaware before now.
Now you know.
