Hi
Nalini, You have not mentioned clearly whether you are just Hepatis B positive or you are suffering from Chronic Liver Disease due to Hepatitis B Infection. For Hepatitis B you can take preparation of Lamivudine 100mg daily after food for 6- 12 months and test to repeated every 3 months. You can take general vitamins and Liver support medicines too. Hepatitis B is not transmitted through food or oral route. It is transmitted from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include sexual contact, blood transfusions and transfusion with other human blood products, re-use of contaminated needles and syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child (MTCT) during childbirth

Ranjit
