Hello. I am 24 years old. When I was in Second grade I got Hepatitis A. So I was between the age of 7-9. Is it still in my system after that many years? If I ever have children is there a possibility they will have it? Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi thanks for asking question. Let me clear your doubt dear... Hepatitis A spread in community by Eco oral route, means by contaminated food or water. So if you have this disease in childhood it is not spread to your child by you. Only if person take contaminated food or water by this virus then only hepatitis can occur. You have hepatitis A in childhood. So at that time protective antibody form in your system and protect you for many years. But virus cannot activate right now as it is already 10 years!! I hope I have solved your concern. Take care. Chat Doctor.
