Hi,
HBs Ag is a positive in a condition called as hepatitis B infection. It is a viral infection.
Since he was in acute phase, which was serious and he has recovered, he will be shifting to chronic phase.
There is no complete cure for this infection. It has shifted to chronic hepatitis.
You need to regularly get the liver tested for it moving it into acute infection activation. Risk of liver malignancy is present and also needs to be routinely evaluated.
Any further queries, happy to help you again.
