Question
My child is 11 years old and had a small operation during the summer vacation. They took a blood test and found that the hepatitis B surface antibody indicator result is positive, reaching 161.30, with all other indicators negative. I’ve heard that this can affect job recruitment when they grow up. What should I do??? Thank you!
Answer
Hello, based on your test results, it’s actually very good. The hepatitis B surface antibody is the only protective antibody, and a positive result indicates that you currently have immunity against the hepatitis B virus. This means the likelihood of contracting hepatitis B is normal and low. Guidance: Don’t worry about this test result; it’s excellent. The purpose of people getting vaccinated against hepatitis B in everyday life is to produce this antibody. Once it’s positive, you won’t be infected with hepatitis B anymore.
