Hi..welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID specialist). I understand your concern.

First thing you should understand about hepatitis B is route of transmission. It spreads by Infected Blood transfusion, Blood products, Infected needles, sexually and from mother to new born.

Next step you should go for is consult a physician and do various blood test and bio markers for hepatitis B. This will decide stage of disease and further management.

Hepatitis B is a chronic disease and does not harm too much if viral load remains under control. There are several drugs available which reduces the burden of virus but these should be taken only after consultation.

i hope i have answered your concern in best possible way. Please feel free for further help if u need.

Regards.
Dr jigar.
