&lt;h1 data-start=&quot;265&quot; data-end=&quot;342&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s Talk Hepatitis B: The Virus You Didn&amp;rsquo;t Know You Might Be Carrying&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;344&quot; data-end=&quot;680&quot;&gt;Welcome to your ultimate guide on &lt;strong data-start=&quot;378&quot; data-end=&quot;393&quot;&gt;Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; the liver-loving virus that&amp;rsquo;s sneakier than your last situationship. You may not feel it, you may not see it, but it could be &lt;em data-start=&quot;522&quot; data-end=&quot;553&quot;&gt;living rent-free in your body&lt;/em&gt;. Good thing you&amp;rsquo;ve got &lt;strong data-start=&quot;577&quot; data-end=&quot;593&quot;&gt;PULSE CLINIC&lt;/strong&gt; to spill the tea on testing, treatment, and keeping your liver safe for the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;344&quot; data-end=&quot;680&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;687&quot; data-end=&quot;723&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Exactly &lt;em data-start=&quot;706&quot; data-end=&quot;710&quot;&gt;Is&lt;/em&gt; Hepatitis B?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;725&quot; data-end=&quot;1030&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;725&quot; data-end=&quot;746&quot;&gt;Hepatitis B (HBV)&lt;/strong&gt; is a viral infection that affects your liver &amp;mdash; and not in a cute, social-drinking kind of way. This virus attacks liver cells and, if left untreated, can cause inflammation, liver scarring (&lt;strong data-start=&quot;937&quot; data-end=&quot;950&quot;&gt;cirrhosis&lt;/strong&gt;), liver failure, or even &lt;strong data-start=&quot;976&quot; data-end=&quot;1004&quot;&gt;hepatocellular carcinoma&lt;/strong&gt; (a type of liver cancer).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;1032&quot; data-end=&quot;1052&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are two types&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;219&quot; data-end=&quot;274&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;276&quot; data-end=&quot;509&quot;&gt;When someone is infected with the &lt;strong data-start=&quot;310&quot; data-end=&quot;337&quot;&gt;Hepatitis B virus (HBV)&lt;/strong&gt;, their body will respond in one of two ways: the infection will either go away on its own (acute), or it will stay in the body long-term (chronic). Here&amp;rsquo;s how they differ:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;516&quot; data-end=&quot;544&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;523&quot; data-end=&quot;544&quot;&gt;Acute Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;545&quot; data-end=&quot;632&quot;&gt;This is the &lt;strong data-start=&quot;557&quot; data-end=&quot;574&quot;&gt;initial stage&lt;/strong&gt; of infection &amp;mdash; the body&amp;rsquo;s first encounter with the virus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;639&quot; data-end=&quot;653&quot;&gt;Timeframe:&lt;/strong&gt; It usually lasts &lt;strong data-start=&quot;671&quot; data-end=&quot;693&quot;&gt;less than 6 months&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;700&quot; data-end=&quot;712&quot;&gt;Outcome:&lt;/strong&gt; Many healthy adults are able to &lt;strong data-start=&quot;745&quot; data-end=&quot;774&quot;&gt;clear the virus naturally&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; meaning their immune system fights it off completely, and they recover without treatment.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;872&quot; data-end=&quot;894&quot;&gt;Symptoms (if any):&lt;/strong&gt; Some people may feel tired, have nausea, mild fever, or notice jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes). Others may have &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1012&quot; data-end=&quot;1034&quot;&gt;no symptoms at all&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1040&quot; data-end=&quot;1051&quot;&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Once cleared, the person develops &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1086&quot; data-end=&quot;1098&quot;&gt;immunity&lt;/strong&gt; to the virus &amp;mdash; they can&amp;rsquo;t get infected again.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good news:&lt;/strong&gt; 90&amp;ndash;95% of healthy adults who get Hep B will clear it and recover fully.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;1239&quot; data-end=&quot;1269&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1246&quot; data-end=&quot;1269&quot;&gt;Chronic Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1270&quot; data-end=&quot;1412&quot;&gt;If the virus &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1283&quot; data-end=&quot;1302&quot;&gt;doesn&amp;rsquo;t go away&lt;/strong&gt; after 6 months, the person is considered to have &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1352&quot; data-end=&quot;1375&quot;&gt;chronic Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; a long-term, persistent infection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1416&quot; data-end=&quot;1516&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1419&quot; data-end=&quot;1433&quot;&gt;Timeframe:&lt;/strong&gt; This form of Hep B can &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1457&quot; data-end=&quot;1476&quot;&gt;last a lifetime&lt;/strong&gt; without proper treatment or monitoring.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1519&quot; data-end=&quot;1700&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1522&quot; data-end=&quot;1540&quot;&gt;Who&amp;rsquo;s at risk?&lt;/strong&gt; People infected at &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1560&quot; data-end=&quot;1595&quot;&gt;birth or during early childhood&lt;/strong&gt; are &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1600&quot; data-end=&quot;1620&quot;&gt;much more likely&lt;/strong&gt; to develop chronic Hep B (up to 90% of infants and 25&amp;ndash;50% of children under 5).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1703&quot; data-end=&quot;1817&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1706&quot; data-end=&quot;1719&quot;&gt;Symptoms:&lt;/strong&gt; Most people with chronic Hep B feel fine for years &amp;mdash; but the virus can silently damage the liver.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1820&quot; data-end=&quot;1919&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1823&quot; data-end=&quot;1842&quot;&gt;Why it matters:&lt;/strong&gt; Without treatment, chronic Hep B can lead to &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1888&quot; data-end=&quot;1913&quot;&gt;serious complications&lt;/strong&gt; like:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1924&quot; data-end=&quot;1953&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1924&quot; data-end=&quot;1942&quot;&gt;Liver fibrosis&lt;/strong&gt; (scarring)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1958&quot; data-end=&quot;1993&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1958&quot; data-end=&quot;1971&quot;&gt;Cirrhosis&lt;/strong&gt; (severe liver damage)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1998&quot; data-end=&quot;2015&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1998&quot; data-end=&quot;2015&quot;&gt;Liver failure&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2020&quot; data-end=&quot;2036&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2020&quot; data-end=&quot;2036&quot;&gt;Liver cancer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2043&quot; data-end=&quot;2066&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Bottom Line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2069&quot; data-end=&quot;2137&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2069&quot; data-end=&quot;2084&quot;&gt;Acute Hep B&lt;/strong&gt;: Usually short-term and clears on its own in adults.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2140&quot; data-end=&quot;2268&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2140&quot; data-end=&quot;2157&quot;&gt;Chronic Hep B&lt;/strong&gt;: Stays in your body, may cause no symptoms for years, but can lead to serious liver disease if left unmanaged.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1387&quot; data-end=&quot;1420&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Do You Get Hepatitis B?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1422&quot; data-end=&quot;1537&quot;&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s not airborne &amp;mdash; you don&amp;rsquo;t get it from sharing food or hugging someone. But it &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1504&quot; data-end=&quot;1528&quot;&gt;is highly contagious&lt;/strong&gt; through:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1541&quot; data-end=&quot;1587&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1541&quot; data-end=&quot;1560&quot;&gt;Unprotected sex&lt;/strong&gt; with someone who has HBV&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1590&quot; data-end=&quot;1673&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1590&quot; data-end=&quot;1616&quot;&gt;Blood-to-blood contact&lt;/strong&gt; (shared razors, needles, tattoos with unsterile tools)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1676&quot; data-end=&quot;1727&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1676&quot; data-end=&quot;1694&quot;&gt;Mother-to-baby&lt;/strong&gt; transmission during childbirth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1730&quot; data-end=&quot;1792&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1730&quot; data-end=&quot;1751&quot;&gt;Household contact&lt;/strong&gt; via open cuts or shared personal items&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1794&quot; data-end=&quot;1901&quot;&gt;You can&amp;rsquo;t get Hep B from toilet seats, hugs, or sharing meals &amp;mdash; but &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1862&quot; data-end=&quot;1873&quot;&gt;you can&lt;/strong&gt; from an untested hookup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1794&quot; data-end=&quot;1901&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1908&quot; data-end=&quot;1947&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Common Symptoms (But Not Always!)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1949&quot; data-end=&quot;2039&quot;&gt;Most people with Hepatitis B won&amp;rsquo;t show symptoms, but when they do, they might experience:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2042&quot; data-end=&quot;2051&quot;&gt;Fatigue&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2054&quot; data-end=&quot;2061&quot;&gt;Fever&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2064&quot; data-end=&quot;2082&quot;&gt;Loss of appetite&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2085&quot; data-end=&quot;2105&quot;&gt;Nausea or vomiting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2108&quot; data-end=&quot;2154&quot;&gt;Yellowing of the skin or eyes (&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2139&quot; data-end=&quot;2151&quot;&gt;jaundice&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2157&quot; data-end=&quot;2193&quot;&gt;Dark urine or light-colored stools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2195&quot; data-end=&quot;2274&quot;&gt;If these symptoms sound vague&amp;hellip; well, they are. Which is why &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2255&quot; data-end=&quot;2266&quot;&gt;testing&lt;/strong&gt; is key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2195&quot; data-end=&quot;2274&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;216&quot; data-end=&quot;269&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Can You Protect Yourself from Hepatitis B?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;271&quot; data-end=&quot;550&quot;&gt;Whether you&amp;rsquo;re thinking about prevention, testing, or treatment &amp;mdash; the key to protecting yourself from Hepatitis B is being &lt;strong data-start=&quot;394&quot; data-end=&quot;407&quot;&gt;proactive&lt;/strong&gt;. The good news? You don&amp;rsquo;t have to figure it out alone. At &lt;strong data-start=&quot;466&quot; data-end=&quot;482&quot;&gt;PULSE CLINIC&lt;/strong&gt;, we&amp;rsquo;re here to help you stay safe, stay informed, and stay healthy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;552&quot; data-end=&quot;583&quot;&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s your complete game plan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;590&quot; data-end=&quot;611&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Get Tested&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;612&quot; data-end=&quot;776&quot;&gt;You can&amp;rsquo;t manage what you don&amp;rsquo;t know &amp;mdash; and Hepatitis B is often &lt;strong data-start=&quot;676&quot; data-end=&quot;686&quot;&gt;silent&lt;/strong&gt;, with &lt;strong data-start=&quot;693&quot; data-end=&quot;708&quot;&gt;no symptoms&lt;/strong&gt; for years. That&amp;rsquo;s why &lt;strong data-start=&quot;731&quot; data-end=&quot;775&quot;&gt;testing is the most important first step&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;778&quot; data-end=&quot;815&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What does the test involve?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;816&quot; data-end=&quot;911&quot;&gt;Just a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;823&quot; data-end=&quot;844&quot;&gt;simple blood test&lt;/strong&gt;. It checks for key Hep B markers and tells you one of four things:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;914&quot; data-end=&quot;978&quot;&gt;You &lt;strong data-start=&quot;921&quot; data-end=&quot;939&quot;&gt;currently have&lt;/strong&gt; an active infection (acute or chronic)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;981&quot; data-end=&quot;1062&quot;&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ve &lt;strong data-start=&quot;991&quot; data-end=&quot;1016&quot;&gt;had Hep B in the past&lt;/strong&gt; and cleared it naturally (and are now immune)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1065&quot; data-end=&quot;1109&quot;&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ve been &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1080&quot; data-end=&quot;1094&quot;&gt;vaccinated&lt;/strong&gt; and are immune&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1112&quot; data-end=&quot;1169&quot;&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ve &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1122&quot; data-end=&quot;1144&quot;&gt;never been exposed&lt;/strong&gt; and need protection ASAP&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;1171&quot; data-end=&quot;1200&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At PULSE CLINIC:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1203&quot; data-end=&quot;1257&quot;&gt;Testing is &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1214&quot; data-end=&quot;1233&quot;&gt;quick, discreet&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1239&quot; data-end=&quot;1257&quot;&gt;non-judgmental&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1260&quot; data-end=&quot;1300&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1260&quot; data-end=&quot;1280&quot;&gt;Same-day results&lt;/strong&gt; are often available&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1303&quot; data-end=&quot;1366&quot;&gt;Our friendly team walks you through your results and next steps&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1368&quot; data-end=&quot;1462&quot;&gt;Even if you feel perfectly fine, knowing your Hep B status gives you control over your health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;1469&quot; data-end=&quot;1495&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Get Vaccinated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1496&quot; data-end=&quot;1581&quot;&gt;If your test shows you&#39;re not immune, &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1534&quot; data-end=&quot;1581&quot;&gt;don&amp;rsquo;t worry &amp;mdash; we&amp;rsquo;ve got a vaccine for that! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1496&quot; data-end=&quot;1581&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1534&quot; data-end=&quot;1581&quot;&gt;The Hepatitis B vaccine (Engerix-B) is HKD500.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1583&quot; data-end=&quot;1614&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1587&quot; data-end=&quot;1610&quot;&gt;Hepatitis B vaccine&lt;/strong&gt; is:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1617&quot; data-end=&quot;1647&quot;&gt;Safe and approved worldwide&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1650&quot; data-end=&quot;1690&quot;&gt;95% effective at preventing infection&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1693&quot; data-end=&quot;1730&quot;&gt;Given in &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1705&quot; data-end=&quot;1730&quot;&gt;3 doses over 6 months&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1733&quot; data-end=&quot;1789&quot;&gt;Provides &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1745&quot; data-end=&quot;1789&quot;&gt;long-lasting or even lifelong protection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;1791&quot; data-end=&quot;1825&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus: Recently Exposed?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1826&quot; data-end=&quot;2086&quot;&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s something called &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1851&quot; data-end=&quot;1898&quot;&gt;Hepatitis B Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; a combination of the &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1922&quot; data-end=&quot;1966&quot;&gt;vaccine and a special antibody injection&lt;/strong&gt; (HBIG) given shortly after potential exposure (like a needle injury or unprotected sex with a Hep B-positive partner).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2088&quot; data-end=&quot;2210&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2088&quot; data-end=&quot;2112&quot;&gt;Timing is everything&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; it works best when given within &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2147&quot; data-end=&quot;2162&quot;&gt;24&amp;ndash;72 hours&lt;/strong&gt;, so don&amp;rsquo;t wait. Visit PULSE CLINIC immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2088&quot; data-end=&quot;2210&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;2217&quot; data-end=&quot;2252&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Get Treated (If Needed)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2253&quot; data-end=&quot;2368&quot;&gt;If your test shows &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2272&quot; data-end=&quot;2295&quot;&gt;chronic Hepatitis B&lt;/strong&gt;, take a deep breath. You&#39;re not alone &amp;mdash; and there&#39;s &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2348&quot; data-end=&quot;2367&quot;&gt;a lot we can do&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2370&quot; data-end=&quot;2393&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What happens next?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2396&quot; data-end=&quot;2470&quot;&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ll do a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2407&quot; data-end=&quot;2426&quot;&gt;viral load test&lt;/strong&gt; (to measure how much virus is in your body)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2473&quot; data-end=&quot;2558&quot;&gt;We&amp;rsquo;ll check your &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2490&quot; data-end=&quot;2508&quot;&gt;liver function&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2513&quot; data-end=&quot;2526&quot;&gt;CD4 count&lt;/strong&gt; to see how your liver is coping&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2561&quot; data-end=&quot;2616&quot;&gt;Our specialists will review your history and risk level&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2618&quot; data-end=&quot;2651&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment may include&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2654&quot; data-end=&quot;2679&quot;&gt;Antiviral medications&lt;/strong&gt; that:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2690&quot; data-end=&quot;2714&quot;&gt;Lower your viral load&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2719&quot; data-end=&quot;2747&quot;&gt;Reduce liver inflammation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2752&quot; data-end=&quot;2803&quot;&gt;Decrease your risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2808&quot; data-end=&quot;2845&quot;&gt;Help you live a full, healthy life&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2847&quot; data-end=&quot;3016&quot;&gt;Some people don&amp;rsquo;t need meds right away. If your liver is healthy and your virus levels are low, we may simply monitor you closely with &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2982&quot; data-end=&quot;3015&quot;&gt;regular checkups and lab work&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;3018&quot; data-end=&quot;3053&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;With PULSE CLINIC, you get:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3056&quot; data-end=&quot;3089&quot;&gt;A &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3058&quot; data-end=&quot;3089&quot;&gt;personalized treatment plan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3092&quot; data-end=&quot;3122&quot;&gt;Ongoing monitoring and support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3125&quot; data-end=&quot;3164&quot;&gt;Access to the latest medication options&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3167&quot; data-end=&quot;3206&quot;&gt;A judgment-free, supportive environment&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;3486&quot; data-end=&quot;3522&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Does Treatment Look Like?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;3524&quot; data-end=&quot;3541&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Medication&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3542&quot; data-end=&quot;3674&quot;&gt;Modern antiviral drugs (like Tenofovir or Entecavir) can &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3599&quot; data-end=&quot;3632&quot;&gt;control the virus effectively&lt;/strong&gt;, and they come with minimal side effects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;3676&quot; data-end=&quot;3693&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monitoring&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3694&quot; data-end=&quot;3815&quot;&gt;Regular check-ups and blood tests ensure that your liver is staying healthy and the virus is staying low or undetectable.&lt;/p&gt;
