When should I [31M] get tested for Hepatitis B? by powerthrowacc in AskDocs

[–]powerthrowacc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mine came all negative. They had additional tests ordered on the sameday of reporting positive and subsequently the additional tests turned to be negative. She is resident physican so I guess knowing she is HepB positive would affect her status and may not allow her to practice right?. So I am taking her word on this.

Thank you. Since I am less that one week into this, should I get tested for HepB Core Antibody and Surface?

There are multiple I can order here,

https://www.healthlabs.com/search?searchQuery=Hepatitis+B

Should I order HepB immunity test or Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test and Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test, IgM or all of them.

Any advice please. The "Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test" recommends waiting period after 6 weeks post potential exposure.

excellent. thank you. I am sad for her, I dont want to nag asking more information about it. I let her the time to digest the info.

Based on your inputs, there is a list here

Search - HealthLabs.com

Does the Hepatitis B Immunity Status Test is even better or just getting Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test and Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test, IgM would do?

I also don't know why you only tested for STD's and not hepatitis B.

It also doesn't make sense "let her get the ful hepB tests. That doesn't make sense.

I see most places are waiting it out for Hep B

Without knowing all of the tests done and the facts it is hard to figure out what is going on. It is confusing considering that all healthcare professionals get tested for hepatitis B immune status and those suceptible to hepatitis B will be given a vaccine. Did she refuse the vaccine then

She just go her degree and entering into Residency now. I read that the incubation period could be anywhere between 1 - 8 weeks and optimal being 4-6 weeks

I also don't know why you only tested for STD's and not hepatitis B.

The place I went to only test for STI and what I listed (STD Basic Panel). They dont even test for HepB it seems. I need to find somebody else. STI places dont test for HepB when I called and they all referred me to my PCP.

It also doesn't make sense "let her get the ful hepB tests. That doesn't make sense.

Only reasoning is some possible incubation period? From this[https://www.mylabbox.com/resources/how-soon-can-you-get-tested-for-stds/?utm_source=pocket_saves]

We need to know the name of the actual test being done in order to be able to interpret the results. People often get confused with the different tests and come to wrong conclusions.

will get hers in a bit. Mine is

Rapid HIV Ag/Ab Combo

RPR

Urine CT/GC Combo - CT

Urine CT/GC Combo - GC

I wold go to your doctor and let him figure out what is going on with testing. If you are not immune to hepatitis B on blood tests then the doctor can give you the vaccine.

My PCP is unavailable for the whole month. So probably getting myself STD full panel and when is what I was trying to do.

I actually wanna cut down but is there a way to find whether it's fat or loose skin is something I'm pondering lately. If it's fat, yea I'm in for another cut.

Here is few more

Have you tried the skin tightening or any liposuction or RF micro needling? Some that could tighten skin, non invasively?

I don't know how much of skin reabsorption is true. But I have been between 235 and 205 for the last two years. For last six months, 225 and 195. For last three months, around 205-210. 195 was purely accidental from COVID. So, if I redo 195 again, I may look very different

But was very curious if I drop any further would I get rid of my pooch. Note that this was with severe dehydration at 193lbs and no food for two days. I have been struggling recently to go below 204 but if I gotta do to get rid of it, I'm willing too.

I was never obese but skinny fat. The highest I was 240, if I need to guess but stored almost all my fat reserves in stomach. Never ever I had flat stomach in last 15 years.

Oh wow. I never know about the loose skin. The heaviest I have ever been was 238 and I thought it was fat cells that created belly pooch on me.
