Does Hepatitis B Infection Re-occur?
Hep A - no Rx, only hand hygiene, check sources of food?
Hep B - Once cured (3 months after drug therapy & negative test), does it recur or totally cured? A specific drug used to treat?
Hep C - same as Hep B (source of contamination is blood) essentially?
Great information. Thank you very much.
