Hepatitis Vaccines

Hepatitis Vaccines
With so much drama and horrible stories about sexually transmitted diseases, you rarely hear about how to defend yourself from certain possible infections. Luckily for many, they will get vaccinations for the Hepatitis viruses. There are three kinds of Hepatitis, simply A, B and C. Here are how the vaccinations work.

The Hepatitis A vaccine given in the U.S. is an inactivated form of the hepatitis A virus. So, you are actually being injected with a dormant version of the virus, it should be noted that is NOT possible to get the disease from the vaccine. It is administered in two doses, six months apart. After receiving both doses, most people will have lifetime protection from hepatitis A. There are some cases in which the vaccine is not effective but this is very rare. It should also be noted that the hepatitis A vaccine does not protect against hepatitis B or hepatitis C.

For the Hepatitis B virus, again, an inactivated form of the hepatitis B virus. It is not possible to get the disease from the vaccine. After a person gets all three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine, most have lifetime protection from hepatitis B. There are some cases in which the vaccine is not effective but this is very rare. As well as the Hep A vaccine, the Hep B vaccine does not shield you from Hep A or C. It should also be noted that you can be tested to see if you have previously been infected and built up immunity to hepatitis B. Also, it is not harmful to get the vaccine if you have already been infected with hepatitis B.

Unfortunately, there is no vaccination or cure for the Hepatitis C virus. It is one of the diseases that is permanent, and can do serious damage to your internal organs if it is not diagnosed properly. There is some medication that can be prescribed and people can go on to lead a normal lifestyle, but they will always carry this disease.

Back then it was believed that Penicillin was the cure all to the disease. Limited medical knowledge lacked the proper treatment and preventive measures in dealing with this new disease. Today, millions are afflicted with various types of STDs. Some of the victims are not even sexually active!

STDs is an enigma that medical practitioners are continually trying to solve. It is a disease that can attack anyone. It doesn't matter if you are single or married; it doesn't even matter if you are straight or gay. As long as you are sexually active and do not use preventive measures of safe sex, you are a high profile candidate. Exposure to infected sores and discharges will also give you a high risk for infection.

No matter how much information is disseminated to the public about the risks of having STDs, the cases of patients afflicted with this disease just doesn't stop growing in number! When you think about it, the best way not to get STD is just not to have sex at all!
