Rojan jose,
HAV is a liver infection brought on by ingesting (orally) the virus. After 1-2 weeks of being sick the disease subsides & only in rare cases it causes permanent damage. I wouldn't be too concerned about it given your age & with the assumption that your health is good.
I would wait for my liver to recover fully in a few months-1 year before returning to my pre-HAV lifestyle.
Good luck all,
Ben
