A member asked:
My father has hepatitis a positive is there any concern, is it curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info: If a blood test reveals antibodies from a previous Hepatitis A infection, that is nothing to be worried about, it just means he will not get Hepatitis A again. It does not cause a persistent infection or cause chronic liver damage the way hepatitis B and hepatitis C can do.
