A member asked:

My blood work says hepatitus a pos. = immun what does this mean!? what is hepatitis and should i be worried? what does immune mean? am i positive / active?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Translation: This implies you are immune to the disease. You acquire immunity by having the vaccine or having had the illness. The test does not suggest you have the disease currently. The vaccine was available when you were a child.
