What is the meaning of a positive hepatitis E antibody?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my girlfriend for many years. Now, we want to get a physical check-up and have a child. However, when the check-up results came out, the doctor said my E antibody was positive and that we needed to be treated before we could have a child. So, both of us are very upset and don't know if we can still have a child.

Doctor's answer:

Please carefully analyze the condition based on the speech and explain it, strictly prohibiting the occurrence of non-targeted explanatory questions again. A positive surface antibody for hepatitis B proves that protective antibodies have been produced in the body. There are two ways to produce antibodies: one is to get hepatitis B antibodies by getting vaccinated for hepatitis B; the other is to be invaded by the hepatitis B virus and completely cleared by the immune system to obtain hepatitis B antibodies. The other two positive items can be ignored, as they will return to normal after some time. Hepatitis is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can reduce the patient's confidence in combating hepatitis and believe that they can definitely recover.
