Hepatitis B anti bodies appeared about seven years ago, Dr. now indicates negative blood tests. No problems.......
Most people (about 90% of adults) that get Hepatitis B eradicate the virus from their body and become free of the infection. There are several antibodies and antigens that can be tested for. Some indicate active or chronic infection, others indicate past infection. Your negative blood test were undoubtedly the test for antibodies/antigens for acute or chronic infection. An antibody test for past infection of Hepatitis B would still be positive Hepatitis B is usually a life long infection but it can be completely erradicated, especially in adults.
