Hepatitis - Preventive Vaccines and Treatments
The good news is that you can and should get vaccinated against hepatitis A (HAV) and hepatitis B (HBV). There are programs that offer these vaccines for free, or at a very low price. They are covered by most health care plans and government programs.
If you have hepatitis that did not go away when you first contracted it (that's called chronic hepatitis), the good news is that the number of existing and new treatments being tested for the treatment of hepatitis and its complications (such as diabetes or cancer) has really increased just in the last few years. Pretty much everyone agrees that getting treated before your liver becomes damaged is better than waiting until later. But getting Hepatitis A and B vaccinations - if you already haven't had those diseases - and connecting with a doctor or health care team with experience is the first thing you need to do after getting tested. This may be the same doctor who tested you for hepatitis, in some cases, but a specialist called a hepatologist or GI doc (gastroenterologist) is usually brought in as well.

There are many factors involved in your decisions and we recommend you find out everything you can about your liver and hepatitis, then contact The Network or another organization or your doctor and start asking questions. You could even prevent liver cancer and avoid a lot of complications in the near or distant future. Not knowing you have chronic hepatitis or another liver condition works against you in many ways.The links to the top left are for agencies that provide hepatitis vaccinations, track hepatitis infections and coordinate statewide activities in their state. Other links provide information, educational resources and referrals for people who are both HIV and hepatitis co-infected as well.
