What does it mean when hepatitis B turns negative?

Patient's question:

After an hepatitis B test, if the result changes from positive to negative, does this prove that the hepatitis B virus has been completely eliminated?

Doctor's answer:

No, some patients with hepatitis B can turn negative but no longer carry the hepatitis B virus, indicating it has been cleared. For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. Hepatitis B is not easy to cure, so it is recommended to follow the doctor's treatment plan. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
