Hepatitis - More dangerous than HIV


Recently, as per a study, doctors have estimated that around 1 in every 12 person all across the worldwide are suffering from Hepatitis B or C, which affects greater number of people as compared to HIV or any kind of Cancer. It’s really pathetic that occurrence of such measures is higher and awareness among individuals is comparatively lesser. Chronic hepatitis can results in fever, nausea, vomiting, fever and lot other diseases.


Hepatitis is defined as an infection of liver, vitiated by several viruses. With the passage of time, it damages the liver and leads to hospitalization. There is the possibility of liver cancer or liver transplantation. Hepatitis C is also named as silent killer. Including Hepatitis A, B or C, minimal six different species are there of Hepatitis virus. The most serious strains affecting the large number of people are Hepatitis B and C. If undetected and undetermined, this virus can be life threatening. Along with this, the virus can be easily transmitted from a bearer mother to her baby, affecting other family members also. Well, hepatitis B is curable and can be prevented by taking 3 doses. But, no cure has been there for Hepatitis C. Just abstain high-risk activities to get rid of hepatitis C.

Each year around 3 to 4 million people are affected with hepatitis virus all across the worldwide. In India, the death rate has increased over 100,000 per year due to hepatitis C. This has been proved that hepatitis kills approx. 10 times more people as compared to HIV. What you can do readers, pass this information to large number of peoples as soon as you can do. After all this is all about our health..

Very informative. I feel one of the reasons that causes Hepatitis is unhygienic food. Source of this food can be anything from roadside vendor to stale food in not so happening food stalls.
Schools and colleges already have taken positive steps in organizing camps for Hepatitis vaccination.

Keep up the good work.

its really good to forward information to others, coz being a dr a felt this flaw seriously, that people took hepatitis very light. its only because they don't know the seriousness n severity n future consequences of this disease.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
