Patient's question:
A while ago, I had a thorough check-up and found positive for hepatitis B core antibody. Yesterday, in this month, I did another test for hepatitis B core antibody, which was 3.94. I want to ask, will my condition be contagious to others? Will it turn negative in the future? What precautions should I take, or do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the test results, your condition is not contagious and does not require treatment. You need to get the hepatitis B vaccine. It is suggested that your condition has had past exposure to the hepatitis B virus, which was completely cleared from your body by your immune system, but protective antibodies were not produced. You need to get the hepatitis B vaccine.When patients face the challenge of hepatitis B, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical consultation. If hepatitis B is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
