A member asked:
I am a hepatitis b positive, what does it mean? i'll be forever a hepa b patient? is there no chance of not having it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is likely: The antibody tests will be positive life long. The actual presence of the virus has to be checked by a very sophisticated test called a pcr. Some patients do clear the virus.
