With a positive surface antigen, and positive e antibody, you are probably what we used to refer to as an active carrier. You need some further evaluation including measurement of the virus in your blood (viral DNA), the type of hepatitis B, and liver tests. Pending these results, you can be considered for treatment or observation. You should see a gastroenterologist. Treatment is very effective in controlling the infection, eliminating the virus from your system, but cures are less frequent. The treatment will also prevent the complications of hepatitis B: cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and infected bodily fluids. This can occur through:

direct blood-to-blood contact

unprotected sex

unsterile needles

from an infected woman to her newborn during the delivery process.
