Hi Pozzie.
I was diagnosed last 2009 with Hepa B reactive that was why I was asked to be profiled including my husband but his result turned out negative and we just had a vaccination but he wasn't able to finish it because we moved to another house and up to now we haven't gone back for a check up. I don't feel anything but he often gets sick so is it possible that I transmitted it to him?If I was positive, will it turn out to be positive in the confirmatory test as I haven't had my confirmatory yet as I don't know what to do, where to get the test and how much the cost is. I hope you can help me. Thank you.

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE
Hi XXX.
Thank you for your email.
Let me answer your concerns in the order that you asked them.
First, you guys need to get treatment for the Hepa B. Also, your husband has to redo his vaccination too since he was not able to finish the booster shots. The priority of you guys should be your health and it would cost you more if anything becomes full blown. Don't wait anymore! Go back and get consultation ASAP, especially now that he is getting sickly. Don't think anymore if he got infected by you or not. If he is often sick, then more reason for him to go to the hospital.
In your case, you have to finish your HIV test. It is not good to just speculate, but finish the test. It is best to know your status now than continually guess if you really have it or not. You can either go to RITM Satellite Clinic where the HIV test is FREE even for women now and the get the result in just 2 hours or go to any HIV Testing Center (however, you will get the result in 2 weeks)
Please don't wait anymore. Get consultation now. You guys should value your health now and trust me, if you worry too much about the cost now, then if you delay treatment, you will probably end up spending more later on.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
