Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a hepatitis B antibody test. Today, I went to the hospital to pick up the test results, and the report showed a positive result for hepatitis B surface antigen. The main antigen and others were negative. Two years ago, due to work, I lived with a friend who had hepatitis B.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is that you are a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, and it is essential to receive proper treatment to have a chance of recovery. Hepatitis B is difficult to self-heal because the vast majority of hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which leads to the condition becoming chronic and making it hard for general medications to cure it. Therefore, adopting the correct treatment method and forcing the body's immune system to produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus is the key to rapid recovery. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, friends with the condition should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease, as only then can they receive timely and appropriate treatment.
