A positive HBsAg test means the hepatitis B virus is present in your body, and it can affect the liver. You should consult a doctor for further tests, such as viral load and liver function tests, to understand the stage of the infection. Many people only need regular monitoring if the liver is stable. Avoid alcohol and follow medical advice to protect your liver health.
