Welcome to the community and thanks for your question. I would say that @Bansah1’s advice is good and indeed you should perhaps use this as an opportunity to talk about HBV vaccination.
There are many ways you could have been exposed to HBV any time during your life that would lead to this: scratches during sport, non-sterile medical or dental procedures, etc. It is a condition that is not symptomatic and people can pass it on unknowingly.
As these tests will not tell you when you were exposed (and therefore when you were infectious) it is hard to be completely sure in answering your question, but casual interactions are highly unlikely to pass on the virus.
Hi Thomas Thank you for replay. When it comes to vaccines, what percentage of infant develop protective antibody. In my country is three doses of euvax B. My niece has been vaccinated that way.
Thank you. But if you can explain me one more thing.
This is my latest result :
It says that i am not protected due to low antibody 7 ml.
Also my hbc total is negative.
This is strange because when i have tested 2 years ago i have positive antibody, 106:
Hello @Joan_Block, I would like to ask because I am also living with other people, I had a viral load of 2900UI/ml. I would say that i am a careful person, i make sure i don’t share my items and let myself cut. But we are not perfect no matter how careful we are we still get cut/wounds. Is it very high chance that they will get infected? we only interact during eating meals, cooking, doing chores.
I would say the risk is low with your viral load of 2900 IU/mL. However, it’s still a good idea to keep cuts bandaged up until they scab over. I struggled with the same dilemma when I was living with other people in university. I also did not disclose, but my viral load was in the millions, so I wonder if I made the right decision.
