I went to a GP and after being sick and he told me I have Hepatitis B. He said to me to lay of the junkfood, sweets and salty food. So am I in the deep sh*t by that Hepatitis B?

You need to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy until you are well again.

The acute illness usually goes away after 2 - 3 weeks. The liver usually returns to normal within 4 - 6 months in almost all patients who are infected.

Some people develop chronic hepatitis.

Most newborns and about 50% of children who become infected with hepatitis B develop chronic hepatitis. Only a few adults who are infected with the hepatitis B virus develop the chronic condition.
Chronic hepatitis B infection increases the risk for liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
People who have chronic hepatitis B can transmit the infection. They are considered carriers of the disease, even if they do not have any symptoms.

Hepatitis B is fatal in approximately 1% of cases.

Also, you need to consider how you contracted this...

The hepatitis B virus spreads through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and other body fluids.

Infection can occur if you have:

Blood transfusions
Contact with blood in health care settings
Had direct contact with the blood of an infected person by touching an open wound or being stuck with a needle
Had unprotected sex with an infected person
Received a tattoo or acupuncture with contaminated instruments
Shared needles during drug use
Shared personal items (such as toothbrushes, razors, and nail clippers) with an infected person

The hepatitis B virus can be passed to an infant during childbirth if the mother is infected.

Other risk factors for hepatitis B infection include:

Being born, or having parents who were born in regions with high infection rates (including Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean)
Having multiple sex partners
Men having sex with men
Being on hemodialysis
Being infected with HIV
