Patient's question:
Recently, the test results showed a small three positive for hepatitis B. What treatment do I need? Will there be a high risk of infection? Do I need to separate things?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is a contagious disease. Your condition is a minor positive for hepatitis B, meaning you are a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Due to the lack of proper treatment, it is essential to seek early and correct treatment to recover quickly, as leaving it untreated for a long time may lead to further deterioration or the risk of infecting others. With prolonged hepatitis B infection, the disease can progress along the path of "hepatitis B → cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is commonly referred to as the "third stage of hepatitis B." Hepatitis B is difficult to self-cure because the vast majority of patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a result, the condition becomes chronic, and general medications are often ineffective ining it.
