Hello, your HBsAg result is 66.4 positive, which means you are infected with hepatitis B virus. You need to do more tests: Anti-HBc IgM to evaluate for acute hepatitis or chronic hepatitis. If Anti-HBc IgM is positive, you are infected with acute hepatitis B virus. According to statistics, more than 90% of patients with acute hepatitis B virus will recover completely without leaving any sequelae after 6 months. Therefore, you need to monitor and re-test for HBsAg after 6 months. If Anti-HBc IgM is negative, you are infected with chronic hepatitis B virus, you need to go to reputable medical facilities for examination, testing and monitoring treatment if indicated.
