"Hi, I'm Dr. Savage. I'm here to discuss treating hepatitis B. First of all, you may have been recently diagnosed with hepatitis B, or you may know someone who has. And to discuss what exactly that is, it can be transmitted sexually, it can be transmitted through blood-to-blood contact; hepatitis meaning inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis B meaning, you know, that certain viral strain that infects the liver. Now, in terms of treatment; if you were to do nothing about seventy five percent actually go into remission, and they say remission because it's questionable whether it is possible to completely eliminate it from the system. But typically, there is signs of actually recovering and getting rid of the virus, the body fightin' it off itself. That also means that twenty-five percent end up having chronic hepatitis from the hepatitis B virus. That's a discussion; treating if you have an acute infection, considering getting antiviral therapy for this. It's something you would discuss with your infectious disease doctor, and that's that's basically what what you'd consider is getting antiviral therapy. So, since with that said, I'm confident this has been informative. I'm Dr. Savage. Here's to your health."
