In my opinion, you will not infect others with Hepatitis B.
Because of your previous infection with HBV, you should always inform your doctors should you need to go on any immune suppressive therapies as a precaution. whether you can still donate blood is also a moot point.
Wow,
Thank you for your timely response. Obviously I feel better now.
WHO ARE YOU? You seem so knowledgable.
Thanks a million,

P.S. I would NOT be infectious to any one else......... would I?
Please let me know if this line of thinking is correct.
You would have been told by your doctor that you have previously been infected with HBV (HBcAb positive), but that you have recovered from the infection (HBsAg negative) and that you have developed strong immunity against future infection (HBsAb > 10 iu/l).
Stephen,
Could you tell me what my blood results below seem to mean?

Hi
Thank you for your time to look in to my issue, i don't use any B-complex or multi vitamin tablets,
Do you take any B-Complex or Multi Vitamin?
Yellow urine could be from excess Vitamin B2.
Rome70 has given you excellent advice which I agree. Usually when your viral load is undetectable, your infectivity is very low.
Yellow urine is not a symptom when your all blood tests are in range, just drink more water.
As for your child, if he is vaccinated you are not a danger to him. Just check if he is immune by hbsab quantity test. If its is >10 iu/ml he is immune, but normal range should be >>100.
Your absag test is indeed strange fpr hbe neg and VL under, 25000iu is too high.
Thanks again Stephen, i checked the report it is >25,000 iu/ml, just to confirm i'll have this test again. since last week i am noticing that my urine is yellow, i read in a website that it's a symptom of chronic HB, is that true? what i have to do in this situation? i am scared that i may spread it to my son, he is just 4 years old. i am avoiding him, i am not playing with him. i checked and confirmed with the regular pediatrics that my son already vaccinated. can you please tell me is there any problem if i take him for vaccination again? please..
I would think at least once every year. That is something you can discuss with your doctor.
I also wonder whether there is a typo mistake in your reporting of your HBsAg result - could it be > 250 iu/ml, instead of > 25,000 iu/ml?
Thank you very much Stephen for looking in to this post, can you please let me know how often i should go for check up?
