 Your dad is a carrier of HBV. The negative HBeAg suggests he has inactive disease, however, more information is needed such as level of HBV DNA and level of liver enzymes. He was probably a carrier long before he had the vaccine. he should be fully evaluated by a healthcare professional familiar with HBV. | ||||||||
