What does a positive hepatitis B antibody mean?

Patient's question:

Uncle was carefully diagnosed with hepatitis B 3 years ago. A few days ago, he went for another careful check-up, and the hospital told him that his body had reappeared with a positive hepatitis B surface antibody. It's a very professional term, but what does it mean?

Doctor's answer:

The second item in the five hepatitis B indicators is the hepatitis B surface antibody. A positive result indicates immunity to hepatitis B. If the hepatitis B surface antibody is positive, it means the vaccination was successful or the person has recovered from hepatitis B and has already developed antibodies, making it impossible to contract hepatitis B. Hepatitis B patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily diet and never indulge in binge eating.
