am i positive with hepa b virus?


recently my partner confessed that he has hepa b virus, he was diagnosed a decade ago but never undergo a treatment,  he has a 4year old daughter but was cleared in hepa b since she undergoes series of test, is this possible? we had the first contact last year sometime in February 2011, do I possibly carry the virus? I am afraid to have a blood test so i still fear if I am contracted with the virus! can any one who has hepa b hide the virus from the blood test? how?

go make hbsag, hbsab, hbcab tests and if all negative get hbv vaccine or just have a helathy life your immune system will take care of hbv when you ll meet him

when getting older like over 50yo better get hbv vaccine, hbv is dangerous for babies at birth but also for olders which like babies have very weak immune systems

if you dont take drugs and have a normal immune system you ll clear hbv and have clered it already, all adults with competent immune systems do and hbv is totally benigne leaving no damage at all

only babies at birth get chronic hbv and carry the virus life long with no damage, of these only a small percentage like 5-10% will develop damage, for the other hbv is just benigne making no damage
