my gf is breaking with me because I have hep b

[JLZhang]

i was born with hep b and i told my gf about it when we first dated, and she has been fine with it. But she recently told her parents about it, and they were really mad about it. they said there is no way that they would agree for us to be together.

i was going to propose to her next month and now she said she couldn't take the pressure from her parents no more...and she wanted to end the relationship!

what should i do? i feel like killing myself....

hi there, Sheryl here.

I want to also share my experience about having HepB. I am only 22years old and have 1 daughter. I did not know where i got it. The father of my child haven't been tested if he has the HepB aswell. We separated 2 years ago and I was single for that span of time and no sex. I have a boyfriend now and we had sex for twice already and once w/ out condom. I am afraid that he might get HepB and leave me if i told him about it. How can i tell him about this?

Thank you

People diagnoses with hepatitis experience wide range of feeling from sad, fear, denial, ignorant, and sometimes becomes obsessive about the disease that cause infomation overload. That is normal.
Hepatitis if not controlled lead to higher chance of liver cancer. That is being said, not all liver cancer come from hepatitis, some from alcohol use that lead to chirrosis.
I always tell my friends and relative, the options are to be vaccinated or manage it. There is no such thing as to avoid hepatitis without being vaccinated. It is so common, especially if we eat outside without knowing whether we are eating with clean utensils or not.

I would suggest first is to ***** your liver damage ( if any) using fibroscan or ultrasound.
If liver is fine, take care of your diet (for general health)
If liver is damaged by fibrosis or chirrosis, take medication and watch your diet.

Learn more on how the HBV work. Learning the fundamentals helps to set rational thinking rather than following any suggestion blindly

I wonder what happened to the threadstarter and how is he now...

I know this thread is old already but I am in the same situation... The stress generated by this disease on our young relationship is pushing us to the limit, a little more and I can feel that she's going to break up with me already... I also feel like killing myself from time to time...

I wish that this is all a dream that I can wake up anytime...

I got Hep B because at that time the place I lived did not have up to standard medical care. It's really depressing knowing that it could have been fully prevented.

depends on what? the country? I am thinking about the U.S.
