HBsAG: Decoding the illness of Hepatitis B

Have you taken your Hepatitis B Vaccine shots lately?

I am very aware of this dreaded disease since I finished college and after finishing up Clinical Microbiology subject in our junior year on pre-med. Our lecturer was a seasoned professional scientist and researcher and was delighted in discussing this matter about Virology (Study of Viruses) on the latter part of that semester on how it works and how it can affect a life of a ordinary human being. In my opinion, it is far worst than HIV/AIDS if you get in contact and inflicted with such illness. Compared to HIV/AIDS which takes three months to incubate on a window period. Hepatitis B can only take a few days to replicate and even be detected in your blood using lab tests available in the clinical laboratories and hospital.
