What does it mean if the surface antigen of hepatitis B is positive?

Patient's question:

I'd like to ask if patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen can become chefs. What are the regulations in China regarding this? What does it mean to have a positive hepatitis B surface antigen?

Doctor's answer:

Methods for regular hepatitis B check-ups
Hepatitis B patients are recommended to undergo a comprehensive and thorough check-up every six months, while those under treatment are advised to have a check-up every three months! The check-up items include: liver function, DNA, and the two pairs of halves (quantitative check-up of the two pairs of halves is best during treatment)! These three are routine check-ups. It is recommended that you go to a formal hospital with a grade B or higher for follow-up and consultation. Although you are just a virus carrier and not infectious, the national regulations do not allow you to work. Additionally, during the treatment period for hepatitis patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay attention to rest and can engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
