    Your doctor should be able to run tests which show if your Hep B is in the acute stage (which can last up to 6 months) or if your Hep B is chronic. Some people clear the virus from the initial acute phase. If your virus is now chronic then no it will not 'disappear' but there is medication which will stop the virus replicating in your body and reduce the risk of cirrhosis or liver cancer in the future.

    Hep B is a different virus to HIV. However people can be infected with both as they are transmitted the same way. If you have Hep B and are sexually active use a condom and do not practice oral sex. Get advice from your doctor.
