Ask
Hello doctor! I went for an auto-immunity HBsAg test and the result was positive, but so far there have been no signs or symptoms of hepatitis B in my body. So the doctor asked me, the HBsAg test result was positive. If you test but have no symptoms, do you have an early stage of hepatitis B? Looking forward to your advice, thank you doctor!

Answer
Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “The HBsAg test result is positive but there are no symptoms, is it early stage hepatitis B? ” as follows:
To know what stage of hepatitis you have, you still need some other tests to evaluate. If only HBsAg is positive, it only shows that you have hepatitis B virus infection.
You can go to the nearest medical facility or Vinmec Health System Hospital for more examination and advice by doctors. Best regards!
