Hi,

Komplikadong sakit ang Hepa B. It has chronic and acute states. You will need more blood tests to be sure. I am not an expert on Hepa B, but this is what I know about the blood tests.

HBs Ag is the surface antigen; if your blood test says reactive then that means you have been exposed to the Hepa B virus.

Anti-HBs Ag (aka Hep B surf ab) is the antibody to the surface antigen; if your blood test says reactive then that means you have the antibody (either because you received the vaccine or recovered from an infection). In any case, you are now immune.

HBe Ag is the envelope antigen; if your blood test says reactive then that means you have the Hepa B virus, it is multiplying within you, and you can give it to other people. Hepa B is transmitted the same way HIV is.

I suggest that you consult a doctor who specializes in Hepa B, either a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist, for more thorough management of your case. The liver is a very resilient organ, and it tries to repair itself as much as possible. This is why many people who have Hepa B don't have symptoms. They do not know that the virus is silently destroying their liver until the liver is damaged up to the point it cannot repair itself anymore.
