Patient's question:
During the health check-up, the doctor said my hepatitis B surface antibody was positive. Am I infected with hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
You currently only have surface antibody positivity, which indicates you have previously been vaccinated against the hepatitis B vaccine and now have immunity against the hepatitis B virus. You are generally unlikely to be infected with hepatitis B. It is recommended that you have regular follow-up tests, as some people's antibodies are not lifelong. If the antibody titer drops too low, you need to receive a booster shot. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly using medication to worsen the condition.
