Patient's question:
School health check says negative is more problematic than positive;; some say negativeDoctor's answer:
The five-item hepatitis B test checks how hepatitis B virus is present and what stage it is in when the virus is active. A negative result indicates no issues, but if the test results are positive, it's necessary to determine which specific item is positive. If the hepatitis B five-item test shows positive antigens, it often suggests the presence of hepatitis B virus. If only the surface antibody is positive, it indicates the presence of antibodies in the body, which can resist external hepatitis B virus. If all test results are negative, it proves that there is no hepatitis B virus in the body. Therefore, the interpretation of test results should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of all items. Hepatitis B patients can understand and receive symptomatic treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life.
