Being HBsAg positive means you have Hepatitis B, but please don't worry?it is highly manageable. Treatment depends on whether the infection is acute (new) or chronic (long-term). Acute infections often clear on their own with rest and supportive care. For chronic infections, highly effective daily oral antiviral medications like tenofovir or entecavir are used to suppress the virus and protect your liver. In some cases, pegylated interferon injections may be prescribed. Not everyone who is positive needs immediate medication. Your next step should be to consult a specialist for liver function tests and viral load checks to see if treatment is necessary for you.
