Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I have never had hepatitis B before, but I was found to be positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) during pregnancy. The doctor said it was fine at the time and no treatment was taken. Now my child is 1 year old, and I am still positive for HBsAg. I am very worried that my child might also be positive for HBsAg. Do I have contagiousness?Doctor's answer:
Second and fifth items are positive, while the other three are negative. This indicates that you have been vaccinated against hepatitis B or have recovered from hepatitis B virus infection, and have developed immunity. There is no need to worry. It is recommended to retest after some time, as atypical conditions usually do not persist for long. The positivity in your second item indicates that you have hepatitis B virus antibodies, meaning you do not have hepatitis B and cannot be infected with it.
