Do I have hepatitis?

Hello all,

I was diagnosed with Human papilloma virus yesterday, after complaining about itching in anus. The doctor ordered me to have the rest of these STD tests done, which I'll do Monday. I've been researching this, and I've come to the conclusion I've got hepatitis B or C. (I actually diagnosed myself with HPV before the doctor had even seen me lol)

It is a long story, so I apologise for the long read, but would really appreciate help!

About a month ago I started feeling ill. I had a swollen lymph node, and flu-like symptoms with muscle pain and a rash on my penis. (The rash looked like herpes, but according to a doctor it was too small and didn't blister). This lasted for about a week. I had mild fever during this time too. Symptoms disappeared and I felt healthy again. I had a bottle of red wine that evening, and the next day the rash on my penis was worse than ever, very sore and itchy. The day after that I fell REALLY sick. I had very high fever at night, I was hallucinating and had extreme night sweats. During the day I had low-grade fever, I felt very sick and achy and I had a runny nose, my testicles were also very sore (still are actually). I can't remember having a bad cough though. This went away in a week, and now I'm ok again.

I didn't realize that I've had liver pains and ache for all this time as well. I thought it was just the position I sit in, and that it was "normal" ache for no reason at all. But now that I've checked where the liver is, I know I have pains there. I do have very dark urine, sometimes it's also green. My eyes are not yellow but my skin has been for quite some time.

Is this hepatitis?

I guess i do understand that indeed once we get a virus even a common virus such as the common cold rhinovirus (sp?) we will always have that inside our bodies. However, it goes to a stage where it lays dormant in our bodies not causing any problems at all never to wake again or be contagious.

a good example is chicken-pox virus, which after it runs its course becomes latent in our bodies. It is only in a few people that get the Herpes zoster virus which are called shingles later on in life. I guess everyone is different in this matter of immune surpression.

I am not questioning you, you seem to have a good background and obviously educated in the field of microbiology.

Can i ask you a question? if it is ok to post it in here. How does obesity and hypertension effect immunity and antibodies? I was told that it does not really matter much as the function of your immune system will work just fine and that there really is no real way to "boost" ones immune system. One can only have a healthy immune system i guess.

The other question i wanted to ask you is if you have any prior experience with HPV? What do you think of the virus?? The kind that causes genital warts. Do you believe with Dr. Handsfield that if one is able to go on without an infection for more than 6 months he is considered most likely not to have another outbreak again or be contagious?

I would appreciate your opinion on the matter.  Thank you

there is an hiv positive in an italian community using kefir and liposomal glutathione from livon labs and they are all increasing their cd4, this happened thanks to a guy who posted he is hiv+ with normal cd4 thanks to the use of kefir+glutathione and so no avrs are needed

vit d25oh serum level 50-100ng/ml
check posts and studies posted

vit c in liposomoes can increase all white blood cells counts in days, livonlabs.normal vit c is useless for this

probiotics especialy kefir, fresh colostrum, bifidus lactobacillus, Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus rhamnosus
in italy we have fresh kefir in the supermarket with all these strains, maybe only reuteri missing, check if you find it or do it fresh yourself.of course home made kefir and probiotics are better

thisis the italian website who sells also home starters so you can do all those free in your home

the quality is incredible, i make bifidus and their brand is the only one i can make yogurt with just heating the milk to 40° without the yogurt machine

Thank you for the answers.

I actually have hepatitis test included in the blood test I'm taking Monday, so I will let you guys know. And I agree with Griever; 90% of HPV infections clear up on their own within 2 years. It's not absolutely certain whether the virus actually leaves your body or lays hidden somewhere, but the experts now believe the immunity system does indeed kill off the virus completely.

cdc is not a reliable source and they use uncorrectly the words in a scientific way, there is no real clearance of viruses they remain in our bodies in dormant state when immune system can control them

we can only have immune control of the viruses not real clearance, infact if one takes immune suppressive drugs and lowers immune system too much all latent viruses and bacteria already in our bodies reappear, hbv for example reappears in a deadly form

CDC uses viruses and statments for the famous science of painc used on hiv and flu viruses lately, and this is not done in a scientific way but in a marketing way to cell antivirals and vaccines mostly useless

we recently discovered that we are made of firndely viruses and bacteria, our genomes are 90-99% viral/bacteria and mainly 1-9% of our genome is human

so again almost all viruses once entered in our body integrates with our human dna and at that point you can only have immune control because to get a real clearance you have to clear our own dna

What do you mean by HPV not being cleared? It is stated in the CDC along with expert opinions including the one on this website by Dr. Handsfield that the virus can be cleared from the body.

by the way papilloma virus, herpes virus, cmv virus and hundered if not more are present in more than 90% world populations and like all viruses these cant be cleared but just immune controlled.....if you find an active infection by one of these common viruses (more common than clods and flu) you have immune suppression so in that case i d change life styles and nutrition to healthy ones to reverse immune system mulfunction

you need blood tests to say, hbv and hcv have no symptoms and only very very few have these general symptoms of interferon activation/immune system activation (flu like symp is interferon production)
since all viruses activate interferon for clearance only blood tests can say

hbv:
hbsag
hbsab
hbcab
hbvdna

hcv:
anti hcv igg and igm if any of these positive then check hiv rna pcr too
