I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www .ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

∙ 14y agoIt means that the test result was positive for the antibody that was being tested.
If it is the Hepatitis B surface antibody then it means you have been exposed to either the infection of gotten the immunizations (shots).
If it is other antibodies, such as the core or envelope, then it means you have been exposed to the infection at some point.
About 90% of adults who catch Hepatitis B get better on their own so if you are antibody positive in order to know if you still have the infection you need to check a surface antigen or do a DNA test.

∙ 11y agoIt means that the person had a past infection with hepatitis B but that the infection is not currently active (i.e - they got better and no longer have it).

Anti HBs - reactive is this mean hepatitis B positive?
It means that you have antibodies to the hepatitis B virus. If you had the immunizations it means they worked. If not then you were exposed to the virus at some point and should discuss those results with your doctor.
Your 13 year old sons serum hepatitis B surface ab came back reactive what does this mean?
It just means he has antibodies to Hep B. He doesn't have the virus.
What does Borderline Hep B Surface AB QL mean?
Hepatitis b surface ab(antibody) ql (qualitative) reactive is the prior exposure of hepatitis b. This exposure could be a natural exposure or that of a vaccine.
What is the street name for hepatitis b?
hep b, titus b, the hep, the b
What does a non reactive hep b surface antibody mean?
HBsAg non-reactive does NOT mean immune to hepatitis B. To understand this we have to discuss what exactly HBsAg is. The hepatitis B virus has several components. It is an encapsulated virus, meaning that its central DNA core is protected by an outer shell. This shell is sometimes called the "surface". On this surface are some antigens, which are simply proteins that induce an immune response in the body. We abbreviate these antigens as HBsAg, which is shorthand for "hepatitis B surface antigen". If a blood test reveals that there are no detectable hepatitis B surface antigens, this simply means that the individual has no evidence of being currently infected with hepatitis B. Otherwise, there would be some hepatitis B surface antigens (with hepatitis B DNA inside them) floating around in the bloodstream. To determine if a person is immune to hepatitis B, we must draw a different test. This test checks for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigens. Sometimes this is abbreviated as HBAb, or as Hepatitis B IgG. If the patient has antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigens, and has no detectable HBsAg in their bloodstream, then it is likely that they are immune. But be careful! Simply having Hepatitis B surface antibodies does not indicate immunity! It may mean that the person is actually infected with Hep B. This is why both tests are necessary to document immunity.
Do you need hep A injection if you had hep B?
Yes, Hep A and Hep B are to different viruses. Each have their own series of injections to boost immunity. There is no Immunization for Hep C. Good luck.
What does the slang word hep mean?
It stands for hepatitis. Can be A, B, or C, but is usually next to its respective letter. i.e. Hep A "Hep" is also an older slang meaning "cool" or "groovy."
What is scientific name for Hep B I know its not Hep A?
The scientific name for Hepatitis B virus is Hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a member of the family Hepadnaviridae.
What does the medical abbreviation HBs Ag Non-reactive mean?
You do not have Hepatitis Surface B antigens present. This can mean you do not have Hep B or if you have had vaccinations and are getting tested within months of the shots, they have not produced sufficient immunity. (If the titer is done years after the immunization, the levels may be non-reactive, but the body still may produce an anamnestic response demonstrating that low titer levels years after immunization are not an effective indicator of immune status.)
What is reactive hepatitis b?
There are several tests for hepatitis B which mean different things if positive (reactive). If it is the surface antigen (sAg') then it means that you have either been exposed to the infection or had the shots. If the former whether you still have the infection depends on the results of other tests.
Can someone with hep b become an RN?
yes someone with hep b can become an RN As long as you have the will, interest, means and the ability, why not. But first, let your doctor take away your hep B out of your system.
How long after hep a and hep b vaccinations can you fall pregnant?
There is no need to delay pregnancy after hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine.
