What does the surface antibody test for hepatitis B mean?

Patient's question:

One year ago, it was checked that the hepatitis B surface antibody was positive and the hepatitis B core antibody was positive. Recently, a detailed check was conducted again, and the results were still the same. Is there a problem? Is there a need for anesthesia or a vaccine?

Doctor's answer:

Patient health check revealed positive hepatitis B surface antibody and positive hepatitis B core antibody. Based on your test results, it indicates that you have previously been infected with hepatitis B, and your body has now fully recovered and developed immunity. You can undergo an HBV-DNA test to check the viral load. If it is not high, there is no problem, and medication treatment is not necessary.
Doctor's inquiry: How have you used medication treatment before? What discomforts have you experienced?
There are several treatment methods for hepatitis B, but since the symptoms of the patient are different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the treatment can be tailored to the specific condition.
