Hi @nita_gabriel1,
Welcome to the community. Sorry to hear about the situation. It is normal to experience these emotions; many of us can attest to such feelings. It is hard initially, but over time, you will be able to adapt, therefore reducing the stress. I acknowledge that living with HBV can feel very lonely, but know that you are not alone. There are over 320 million of us in the world, and some of us are also part of this platform. If there is any way we can help, please let us know. If you are comfortable sharing your status with your support group, feel free to do so. It is important to get support as you navigate this process. It can make a difference if you have support. Living in fear of infecting others and relationship difficulties have been discussed in other threads on here. I hope reading around will provide you with some helpful information.

Yes, it is possible to have a surface antigen increase since you don’t have enough antibodies to protect you. I hope you can develop antibodies in the next couple of months. We have seen patients who clear the virus after the 6-month window. Being an adult makes it more likely that you can clear it.
Please, take it easy on yourself. Take care, Bansah1.
