The fact that acute hepatitis B can be cured - that's understandable. The fact that chronic, too, can be cured, although the chances are small - also understandable. But tell me, is whether a person B hepatitis B carrier lifetime, ie Does he risk of getting hepatitis B again, and he remains a danger to other people in terms of infection?

In this case, the risk of infecting contact persons and sick with hepatitis B remain the same. Similar question: How soon after infection with hepatitis C virus a person can infect another person?
