Best Answer

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.

You got hepatitis A and E positive.Are you affected from hepatitis B also?

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www .ultimatelifeclinic .com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
