What does this check indicate?

Patient's question:

Hepatitis B surface antibody positive, hepatitis B core antibody is also positive, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The second item is positive for hepatitis B antibodies. Hepatitis B antibodies are markers that protect against infection by the hepatitis B virus. A positive core antibody indicates that you have previously been unknowingly infected with the hepatitis B virus. Due to your normal immune system, the virus was completely cleared, and protective antibodies were produced, leaving behind a marker. There are many treatment methods for hepatitis B, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
