Hello doctor, I just went to the doctor for hepatitis B and received a positive result for hepatitis B. I have researched and know that if the body is healthy, it can eliminate the virus on its own after 4 to 6 months. out of the body. And if after 6 months re-examination is still positive, will it be in dynamic or static form to have a treatment regimen for hepatitis B virus? Or do I need to check it again to see if it's dynamic or static? Positive for hepatitis B virus should be treated appropriately? Thank you doctor.
