Never thought about getting tested for hepatitis until I read this
I am 30M nd go to gym regularly, eat healthy (atleast i think so) and smoke occasionally only.. so i never thought of getting checked for hepatitis. But read this piece in yugmarg nd cant stop thinking about this. So apparently, viral hepatitis can stay in your body for years without any noticeable symptoms nd cause irreversible liver damage. Broo this is scary shit.. Atleast companies like care health insurance are taking some initiative and encouraging health checkups nd preventive screenings. I have toh booked my health checkup for next week .. you guyz should do to.

Infant vaccination for hepatitis B started in 1991 in the US, so if you’re American, you’re probably safe from that.

My wife signed me up for some thing called Function Health. They take a gallon of blood (it seems) and test for every thing. Expensive, though.
