hello to the doctors in these thread. i just want to ask something regarding this disease. i read that this disease is called a silent killer since the Hepa B virus, once acquired, have no symptoms of whatsoever unless it is already in the chronic stage. in fact, many people did not know that they already have this virus unless they undergo laboratory exam specifically to test this disease. my questions are: 1. can these be treated if your already an adult, around late 20's? for how long? 2. can you transmit these to somebody else if he/she has already the antibodies? thank you to all.
