Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
It is suggestive of acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
The presence of HBeAg indicates that the blood and body fluids of the infected individual are highly contagious.
I advise you to consult your physician for further evaluation like certain lab tests including liver function tests, anti-HBS, HBeAg, IgM to HBcAg, etc.
Hope this will help you.
