Indi, that depends on if it is Acute Hepatitis B or if it is Chronic Hepatitis B like you said. You can recover from Acute but Chronic currently is still for life and usually leads to many liver complications.

Picture perfect health lol. You know, dumping someone because they are lactose intolerant ...ok..maybe an idiot....but dumping someone for hep-B? I don't know, there are a few good justifications such as getting it yourself. Most of all though she should tell him before things get out of hand and she actually gives it to him. Anyways, she should tell him quickly...if he still stick with her he can get a vaccine that will immunize him to it. It is actually really easy to prevent as long as you don't have it yet.

Exactly.
