Your situation is characterized by the presence of anti-HBeAg (), which is commonly observed during the recovery phase of hepatitis B virus infection. It is recommended that you get a hepatitis B viral load test done. If the hepatitis B virus is not detectable (no copies), you can focus on careful monitoring. If there are signs of liver damage, it is important to actively protect your liver.It is not frightening to have hepatitis; patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided during the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
