You'll get a workup: If you're not acutely sick right now, chances are it will turn out that you're a chronic carrier. There are many millions of people in your situation and while it presents some problems, your life is far from ruined. Date only people who have been immunized -- nowadays this is almost everybody. A physician will manage you long-term. Best wishes.

Hepatitis B: If you have hepatitis b surface antigen in your circulation you have been infected with the virus. The duration or persistence of the surface antigen will determine whether this was acute or chronic infection. See a doctor to determine future testing and assessment techniques and possible need for treatment. There are now effective meds available.
