Q: recovering from hepa. follow up bloodwork hep a ab, total: positive and flagged abnormal. does this mean i am still actively fighting the virus?

: It means you have fought it and won. Your Hep A Ab test will be positive the rest of your life. That's a good thing: you not only beat the virus, but you also are immune to a new infection. You'll do just fine from here on out.
