Despite the availability of a hepatitis B vaccine, 100,000 people in the U.S. are infected with hepatitis B each year, & 6,000 die from complications. When Green was diagnosed with hep B, he wanted to understand & manage his illness -- by reading medical & scientific books & journals, talking with doctors, & networking with others. Here, Green walks you step-by-step through everything you need to do & learn each day of your first week after diagnosis, each subsequent week of the first month, & the following 11 months of the crucial first year. Also, focuses on the emotional issues surrounding hepatitis B -- such as sex, socializing, depression, & self-image -- as well as suggestions, concerns, & personal advice from hepatitis B sufferers.
