Low viral load: Hep B infection may be either acute or chronic. In self-limiting infection you clear infection spontaneously within weeks to months. More than 95% of people who become infected as adults or older children will stage a full recovery and develop protective immunity to the virus. Individuals who remain HBsAg positive for at least six months are considered to be hepatitis B carriers.
