I have tested to be hepatitis b positive and gp.ask to repeat my blood test again,any way I know that's I'm carrier for 13 years ago but doctor in thailand just tell me that i'm carrier nevertell me about the effect.and tell me to have a blood test every 6 month.but i did check up only 1 time and is normal.until i came to uk I aware of my health more and have know more over the internet.so I'm very worry!If the result come out i'm still carrier what is posible happen to me because i never have any symptoms at all and i been looking from some website has one man he taking milk thistle for 6 months than he clear the virus.It is posible? any way I straighly brough some online and taking now,I'm now 33 years old

>>>If the result come out i'm still carrier what is posible happen to me

You need to have your doctor monitor your liver.

>>>one man he taking milk thistle for 6 months than he clear the virus.It is posible?

Unlikely.

Hope this helps.

1st thing you need to do - Get Hepatologist to do a full liver blood test which include yr Hep B DNA VL & e antigen status to know more about your Hep B status before talking about treatment.

i been to see my gp. this morning h was confirmed I'm hepatitis b infection i'm quite disspointed he not realy aswer my question very clear he said when i see hepatology they'll tell me more and will take full liver blood test
this is my first result he give it to me
Volume of specimen collected:n/a
specimen Desc:serum

hepatitis b surface antigen level detected by eia
hepatitis b core antibody level detected by eia
What is all this mean?
thank you very much
I glade i found this website it's feel more like I have some one understand me.

If you were told that you were a HepB carrier 13 years ago and currently is positive for the hepatitis b surface antigen, it would confirm that you have a chronic HepB infection.

Go to our HepB Introduction & Welcome Page to learn the basics.  Then come back when you have specific questions.  It's hard to answer general questions, like "what is all this mean?" because HepB is very complex.  You need to grasp the basic first.

[cajim]

hepatitis b surface antigen level detected by eia = You have HBV
hepatitis b core antibody level detected by eia = You were exposed to HBV previously.

As stevenNYer advised, learn the basics  and you will know how to better take care of yourself.

Best.

Thankyou very much for your comment.
I still hope that's 1 day my hebB might dis
appear.just one more question Can I still drinks for some time
I use to enjoyed myself by drinking 1 bottle in 2 days.regularly
So now can I still drinks a little?
thanks

[cajim]

I would try to stop drinking altogether as it is already known alcohol does not do one iota good to your liver, only hurts it.

Thanks a lots I really appreciate.

All the best to your guys and god bless ,Is any symptom i will
come back to ask question but I wish rather don't  let it come out!
