Medical Test Showed Reactive HBsAg. No Family History Of Illness And No Other Symptoms. Suggestions?
Good day. Sir I just done my medical examination last wednesday then I found out that the HBsAg is reactive in which I don't experience any sexual contact or any family illness like this. I am wondering why I have this illness. Are there any cure about this? This is my first time having a medical examination. Thank you

Hi,
The HBsAG is hepatitis viral component it can be spread through blood and bodily fluids. So any blood donation or injection from infected needle may lead to it.
HBsAG is also component of vaccine that is given for hepatitis protection SO I think the most likely cause is the vaccine which you have received in past is a cause of HBsAg positive in you recent blood work. If you know you had vaccine in past then nothing to worry.
YES Their a cure for hepatitis, various antiviral drugs are available in market.
THANKS. Hope it helps. Dr.JAY PATEL.
