| Response from Dr. McGovern
 It appears that you have acute hepatitis B. Your household and sexual contacts should receive prophylaxis against hepatitis B. I would discuss this further with your physician. You appear to be in the "window period" where the surface antigen is already negative. You should completely clear the virus on your own. | ||||||||
