First of all, no hep A does not respond to antibiotics. It's a virus and viruses do not respond to antibiotics. Second, Hep A can make you feel really sick if you get it as an adult. If you are very unlucky you may get fulminant hepatitis and that can result in liver failure which is fatal if you don't get a liver transplant. Hep A is often not fatal with proper medical care but can be fatal in a minority of cases
Hep C! Now that's scary
Full panel blood test and hepatitis vacation!

Take that hepatitis vacation in a country where it's easy to get a liver transplant.

I promise boning.
I did B and as I recall it was a series of three shots over a couple of six months. Lots of people got the timing wrong or just skipped the last one and it was no good I know A has one, but can you get a "vacation" for C?

Hep vaccination was a 3 shot series. One, then another a month later and then another 3 months later
Do they do it all in the same day now?

Hi Terrilynn check with your doctor to make sure you received both your Hep A & B vaccinations. They are not one vaccine, and are given separately.
Well that is very informative to know! I thought the series of hep vaccinations were for all hep. Boy oh boy am I glad I get regularly tested with the full panel.
Yes, I did the series of hep vaccinations
Even though it doesn't cover hep c, I still strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated
Thanks Robbin

Once you've been vaccinated for Hepatitis A, you will show positive on all future Hep A tests!
Don't freak out, like I did, when it shows positive! Always let the lab, who's doing your bloodwork know, and also all your doctors that you've been vaccinated for Hepatitis A & B.
The doctor who vaccinated you, should give you paperwork stating you've been vaccinated (which will include the dates, and type of vaccine). This is very important to have, to be able to show to medical professions, and to employers who require you to get a card in case you get a job in the food service industry. If your Hep A test comes back positive (and it will, once you've been vaccinated) the paperwork will be your only proof that you do NOT have Hep A.
Hope this helps. XOXO's
with antibiotics. There was a multi injection protocol, a vaccination, for Hep B. Sometime the body can fight off the virus and the Hep B antibody (don't ask!) will show in a blood test if your body has fought off the virus. If you have children, they should get the vaccine!
Don't know much about Hep C, except that it's deadly without treatment. Sorry for being so direct, but it's that serious ...

I'm neurotic regarding my health, so I have STD/STI testing monthly, whether I've been sexually active or not. Of course, I practice safe sex during vaginal and anal intercourse. I've never had a blood transfusion, so that helps lower the risk of contracting Hepatitis C.
Unfortunately, many people do not know you're able to contract Hep C while having a manicure or pedicure (when they clip the skin). Another reason why I'm frequently tested for STD/STI's.
The way I see it, we can never be too cautious regarding our health!
You're a hot babe and seem like a sweet woman. Pineapple juice? ... lo
