Yes, Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease. Use protection or get your partner vaccinated.

Yes. Hepatitis B can go through different phases, so regular checkup is important. The usual tests are:
1. Liver functions test (liver panel)
2. hbvdna (viral load)

See a liver specialist and be monitored by him/her.

is inactive for the moment, but can it be active latter? and what tests i have to make for having a better answer?

ALT is 19? If it is 19, then it is a very good ALT. You really should have a complete liver functions test and hbvdna. Otherwise, based on your ALT, your hepatitis does not seem to be active at the moment.

thank you for your answer. For the moment i have only this blod test.. I thought was enough for having one answer. Thank you

All we know is that you have chronic Hepatitis B. The Q2 608.84 S/co has no meaning. So we need more information, such as, ALT, AST, hbvdna, HbeAg status, etc before we can give you our opinions.
