| Response from Dr. McGovern
 You ask a very good question. The good news is that you were exposed to hepatitis B virus but cleared the infection. This is evidenced by having core and surface antibodies which are positive. However, your surface antigen is negative so you are not a chronic carrier of HBV. You are not infectious to others. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
