Thank you for posting your query.
HBsAg +ve indicates "active infection".
HepB virus can NOT be eradicated completely by a person infected with it (usually early in life). HBsAg becomes negative when virus goes in the dormant phase and its active when HBsAg is +ve.
you should be checking:
- Liver Function Test (liver enzymes) and
- "HepB Viral Load by PCR test"
a result of these tests would be analyzed and management would be done accordingly.
you should do above tests asap and visit your treating Physician.
any further questions are welcomed.
in case you do not pass stool, then its better to meet your treating physician.
hope to answer your concern.
