HBsAG + only ,what does it means?

[shy_25]

i have this as a result when i was having a medical exam April2007...in my lab result is hepa b surface antigen only.
since then i was taking rest,eating healthy foods such as fruits and vegies and with liver vitamins as what the doctor advised me..i never did second test because im afraid..im having sexual contact with my boyfriend 3months after the virus is detected and we were doing that until now...5months after he had a blood test and no hepatitis virus detection.
He doesnt know that i have this virus...Is it possible that i have recovered with the infection?can i get my residence visa because im waiting for the release of it...im afraid the virus is still there and i will be deported back to my country..
Is hepaBsAg highly contagious?Can i still work?Pls help and advise me...

i am reactive to hbsag  and i've done the  lab tests including dna. The results are the following:
sgpt/alt is 30.84
HBeg (eclia) 0.100  - Non reactive
Anti HBc IgG (eclia) 0.007  - reactive
Anti HAV IgG (eclia) >60.00 - reactive
Anti HBe (eclia)  0.004  - reactive
HB Virus-Viral L  11430 copies/ml
                            1964 UI/ml

and my doctor advised to do the labtest again on April 30, 2009, at this t time he did not  prescribe any medicine for me although the result of my dna was over 1,430 virus, do i need to treat or not, with regard to my labtest result?

"im having sexual contact with my boyfriend 3months after the virus is detected and we were doing that until now..."

That's based in anxiety and fear....but it's also stupid and selfish.  Make sure your boyfriend is protect first, then you find out more about your disease status.  You are likely fine.  Knowing your status is actually a blessing because you could now take care of yourself better.

test ur blood again if u ve surface antybodies ( HsAb) positive that means u r immune to this virul means u r not in rist u cannot infect others.did u get test abt ur antibodies??
what ur doctor said??

If you have chronic hepatitis then you need to know so that you can monitor your liver enzymes.  Many people are not fortunate enough to know they have it until things are really bad.  You should consider yourself infectious and contagious until it is proven otherwise.  Act the way you would hope that someone else would act toward you in the same situation.

It is possible that you have had Hep B for many many years and will never clear the infection.  The only way to know is to be tested.

Is it possible that i have recovered with the infection?

Test your HBsAb or anti-HBs (hepatitis B surface antibody).  A "positive" or "reactive" HBsAb (or anti-HBs) test result indicates that a person is "immune" to any future hepatitis B infection and is no longer contagious.

can i get my residence visa

Depends on their rules.

Is hepaBsAg highly contagious?

Depends on its stage.

Can i still work?

Depends. No if your job is invasive.
