Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM.
I am not a medical expert and
therefore, not qualified to
answer your question about Hepatitis
B. I did look up Hepatitis B
in Linda Villarosa's book Body
& Soul. What I discovered
is that "hepatitis B is the
only sexually transmitted infection
that can be prevented through
a vaccination. Hep. B is highly
contagious--100 times more contagious
than HIV.....No treatment exists
for this disease. In most people
the body fights it, and eventually
it goes away. In about 10 percent
of the cases, however, those
infected become chronic carriers
of the disease...."
