No. A successful treatment will result in antibodies in your blood that will prevent you from getting it again. But there are cases - mostly if you got it during your early childhood - in which Hepatitis B becomes chronic. That is when even after successful treatment, remnants of the virus still remain - inactive - in your body. Sometimes Hepatitis B then reoccurs spontaneously, but more often it may reoccur when you get a treatment (against cancer, for instance or in connection with an organ transplant) that dramatically lowers your resistance. Your doctor can tell you whether or not your Hep B is chronic or completely gone.
