When your body is introduced to the Hepatitis B virus, the virus
is considered the antigen (the surface antigen)and this should
trigger your immune system to develop antibody against this antigen
to destroy it. Most people do develop Hep B surface antibody when
infected with the Hep B virus. Some people do not develop the
antibodyand go on to have only circulating Hep B surface antigen -
which means they are a carrier and can continue to have the virus
and infection. For the majority of the population that develop the
Hep B surface antibody, this conveys immunity to the virus for
life.
