"Please stop harassing me, i did not do anything wrong as far as i know, i don't do drugs or have sex and if i did i would probably don't care to hide it because i am not like that
I don't know how i got it and there are other ways to get it too, i just know i have it now and can't help it
If i had something to hide would i open a thread to talk about it? This is stupid, i don't need to hide anything from anyone

Yes and if they have had Hep B since birth then it's likely a lifetime illness and will never be cured for them.
Yep, and the OP stated they do indeed drink alcohol, so it's quite possible this is a lifetime illness just now showing its face due to alcohol use.

This is what makes sense to me, she might have had Hepatitis since birth. I think it is unfair to assume the OP is lying about her sexual history or past drug use.
Maybe she had contact with some other type of needle like a tattoo or medical needle or had a blood transfusion or something.
You can also get it through living with someone who has it, or sharing personal hygiene products like razors, toothbrushes or nail clippers.
I did not do the sex thing and i don't do drugs, i also learned that people can get infected by other means like clippers for nails or other means like that

The people you perceive as "helping" you were really more just consoling you.
The people you think are "hating" you, are the ones truly trying to help you!
You would be wise to learn the difference!
Best to you.
Maybe she has been infected from birth. Ohh the irony.

Okay then, it was IV drugs or contact with Hep-B infected needles.
Sorry, but there are NO other options!
Oh, and it DOES matter! You know why?
Because, whatever happened others may be at risk too from the same source or from your activity.
You might not care, but the rest of society damn sure does!!

Hi WarriorMH, sorry to hear about your unexpected diagnosis.I can understand why your disappointment with the way the doctor may have handled things.
I have teenage daughters and the doctors they have seen have been very discrete about sharing any kind of info about sex/drugs and alcohol use.The onus is usually on my daughters to want to share.
More private then i'd like to be honest.I'm thinking about the doctors at the hospital.Our family doctor usually asks if they're cool with me being there or sharing the info.I feel close to my daughters, so this kind of discretion isn't usually a big deal.Sometimes they need time to process news of this sort.They have usually opened up with the info, after a short time.When I try to imagine them in your shoes with our family overseas it's rather distressing.
You seem to be able to express yourself quite well on these boards. Idk, if you feel self conscious about that, it took me a couple of years posting online before I felt comfortable.I think it's just a practice thing.I think posting here on ATS can be a little intimidating too.Try not to take anything to personally.
Practice looking after yourself.Please try not to think about everything at once, to help avoid feeling overwhelmed.There is probably a lot on your mind, hopefully you can get some counselling or share your concerns with someone you trust.Here's wishing you some good days, to make up for the crummy ones.

Thanks for your kind words, I don't think I express very well because constantly people misinterpreted what I said and I have a hard time explaining what I wanted to say. I do say things as I feel them, for good or bad and I don't hold back so that may be why it seems like I feel I do well, mostly I do but some cases things get out of control very bad
Yes I would have liked for things to be more private, and not an attempt to force to admit something and when I didn't then assume I lie, I think that's very mediocre and unprofessional in a doctor
I did had several arguments over that and I wish it had never happened because I have authority issues and things went bad with my mom after that, this should have never happened but oh well nothing to do about it now
Sometimes I do keep things to me too, until I feel I can explain myself better and not sound like I have made a mistake or lost control of my life.
Is not the I don't trust is that i need to understand me first and deal with it, then I can talk about it but I don't like to be pushed to do something or be told a lecture about all the things I did wrong or whatever, that's clear it happened I don't need to be told, I already know.
It doesn't help to be told off, so I deal with it myself first. And people that make assumptions are terrible, how can you tell the truth if they have already decided you are lying and it has to be what they assumed without knowing anything at all?
