Thanks for your query at HCM
I suggest it is good that your HBeAg is negative and in that case there is least chances of infectivity to others. But the matter of concern is HBsAg reactivity I suggest you get the test repeated. In some cases it takes time for HBs Antibodies to appear late.So don't worry just be in touch with follow up with your physicians. Avoid marriage/immigration for some more time if you can as if your HBsAg is positive for more than 6 months then you might be a carrier and have risk of chronic infection. Get your liver enzymes checked to confirm the same. Ready to take more queries if any.
Take care!
