I get quarterly blood work because of medications I take. Doc says my liver count is a little high but attributes to meds No need for any shots.
When I was 21, I was exposed to hepatitis B through none of the activities listed. I was working in a pathology lab that handled a lot of blood samples and got cut by a broken sample tube. Naturally that sample had a hepatitis warning label on it, so I had to get two gamma globulin shots a week apart. It must have worked, because I never came down with hep B. Even donated blood plenty of times over the years since then. No plans to get tested again.
So it’s not always sex and drugs that can give you hepatitis B.
“So it’s not always sex and drugs that can give you hepatitis B.”
No, and my wife was tested during her time as an RN (and got the shot as well IIRC). Not always sex or drugs.
But I’m not in health care, don’t handle blood, been married for 35+ years to one woman who doesn’t have it and don’t do drugs.
I like my odds.
Eff u CDC
Nope.
Ah
Same here, though I’ve only been married 22+ years so far.
Hepatitis B is pretty far down my list of concerns. I worry more about hepatitis A, since you can get that from contaminated food or water, but I don’t worry much about that either.
I want all homosexuals screened for hiv, std’s, aids, etc.
“No.”

You forgot, “Hell. No.”
That agency is probably a good one to put at the top of the defund list. (The CDC.)
When I worked in the relatively clean computer industry (way back in the early days) a co-worker got scratched by a hypodermic needle sticking out of a dumpster- that could happen to anyone, almost. He had to take those gamma global shots as well.
I think the country needs a non-corrupt CDC of some sort. The one we have is a corrupt menace to health.
The FDA I would strip of it’s police powers and privatize. We don’t have a Federal Toaster Administration, we do quite nicely depending on Underwriters Laboratories; and something similar would work to replace the FDA.
It’s too late. It’s already seeped into the population and there are now millions of infected chronic carriers.
It is generally asymptomatic so your liver may be quietly destroying itself. If you live or lived a licentious lifestyle you should get tested.
Gamma globulin is a treatment, not a caccine. Injections are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient’s immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients having been exposed to hepatitis A or measles
It’s never been conclusively proven COVID is from the CDC.
The CDC has no credibility.
IMO, it’s been proven to be useless. No, worse than that, it’s been harmful.
Sorry, may i have another, please.
That was probably the B variety. C is also pushed hard by the health authorities now but it is peripheral, gays and local hospitals in VN. Type A is more easily treated and is rare there as well as here.
