A member asked:
I was just checked and found hepatitis b positive what advice can you give me and medication.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What's positive?: I'd need to know whether it's the surface antibody or antigen that's positive. A positive antigen means you have either acute or chronic hepatitis. A positive antibody just means you're immune.
