A member asked:
Can hepatitis b continue to cause damage even if you've recovered from it and the infection didn't become chronic? is there any way to 100% remove the virus from your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If...: If you are recovered and do not develop chronic hep B you become immune to it if you have been exposed. There is no further damage the virus can cause under those circumstances.
