Patient's question:
Did I get infected by drinking the water from a hepatitis B patient seven years ago? I checked the hepatitis B six tests carefully at the beginning of this year, and all the results were negative, so I wasn't infected, right? Do I still need to get vaccinated? Would I get infected by drinking the water from a hepatitis patient seven years ago?Doctor's answer:
The results of the five hepatitis B tests show that the second item is positive, indicating that you do not have hepatitis B and have hepatitis B antibodies. The fifth item is positive, proving that in the distant past, you once transmitted hepatitis B. Due to your strong immunity, your body has completely cleared the hepatitis B virus.2. Your body is healthy, and your antibody titer is 2.44 mIU/ml. Since your antibody titer is less than 10, you need to receive an additional hepatitis B vaccine booster shot.
3. In three to five years, you should retest the five hepatitis B items. If the antibody titer is greater than 10, it means the antibody level is high enough, and you do not need to receive a hepatitis B vaccine booster shot. When the antibody titer is less than 10, you need to receive one hepatitis B vaccine booster shot.
