TREATMENT OF HEPATITIS B

 Acute : none just supportive treatment like rest, proper

nutrition, diet, vitamin therapy and plenty of fluids while
your body fights the infection.

 Chronic :
1. Antiviral medications. Cannot clear the infection
but can stop the replication of the virus and
minimize liver damage. It also can help fight the
virus and slow its ability to damage your liver.
These drugs are taken by mouth.

E.g.:
- entecavir (Baraclude)
- tenofovir (Viread)
- lamivudine (Epivir)
- adefovir (Hepsera)
- telbivudine (Tyzeka)

2. Interferon injections. It is Immune system

modulators. produced by the body to fight infection.
It Reduces the viral load by preventing replication
of viruses. Response differs with genetic variations
of the virus. It's used mainly for young people with
hepatitis B who wish to avoid long-term treatment
or women who might want to get pregnant within a
few years, after completing a finite course of
therapy. Interferon should not be used during
 pregnancy. Side effects may include nausea,
vomiting, difficulty breathing and depression.

E.g.:
- Interferon or peginterferon alfa-2a given by
subcutaneous

3. Liver transplant. If liver has been severely

damaged, a liver transplant may be an option.
During a liver transplant, the surgeon removes the
damaged liver and replaces it with a healthy liver.
Most transplanted livers come from deceased
donors, though a small number come from living
donors who donate a portion of their livers.

TREATMENT OF HEPATITIS C

 Antiviral medication. To clear the virus from your body.

The goal of treatment is to have no hepatitis C virus
detected in the patient body at least 12 weeks after you
complete treatment.
E.g.: Direct acting antivirals (DAAs)

 Liver transplantation. At the same time, treatment with

direct-acting antiviral to prevent recurrent occurs.
TREATMENT OF HIV AND AIDS

 There's no cure for HIV/AIDS. Once when the body have

the infection, the body can't get rid of it. However, there
are many medications that can control HIV and prevent
complications.

E.g.:

1. Antiretroviral therapy (ART). Everyone diagnosed

with HIV should be started on ART, regardless of their
stage of infection or complications. ART therapy can
reduce the presence of the virus in the body but cannot
eliminate it. ART is a combination of three or more
medications from different drug. ART has the best
chance of lowering the amount of HIV in the blood.
Staying on ART helps
- Keep immune system body become strong
- Reduce chances of getting an infection
- Reduce chances of developing treatment-resistant
HIV
- Reduce chances of transmitting HIV to other people

2. Antiviral medication. This drug used to treat the

diseases caused by viruses also to help deal with HIV.

 Treatment side effects can be:

- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea

- Heart disease
- Kidney and liver damage
- Weakened bones or bone loss
- Abnormal cholesterol levels
- Higher blood sugar
- Cognitive and emotional problems, as well as sleep
problems
