Hello doctors,

Sorry I also wanted to ask what should be my next step

Could you please provide additional information on what your test results show and your health.  Are you sick?  Was this a test for antibodies?  Hepatitis A is transmitted by ingestion of the virus.   Was here an exposure of concern? It is sexually transmitted through direct or indirect oral-anal contact.  ---

Sorry and as far as I know I’m not really sick but I do feel tired sometimes 

I also forgot to add that my HBsAg Screen is negative 

And this is the only exposure I’m really concerned with thought I’m 35 and had 6 sex partners, none unprotected vaginal sex

Thanks for your additional responses. Noting that you responded a total of six times in relatively short order suggest to me that your level of anxiety is high. It should not be. The encounter you have described is virtually no risk for acquisition of sexually acquired hepatitis A which is most commonly acquired through ingestion of contaminated food.   I find myself wondering why you were tested at all for this infection.---

Sorry one last thing I think I’m a little confused as how Hep A spreads, is it just by getting infected poop in your mouth or is there other ways, Thank you

Thanks for the additional information. As I indicated earlier, a positive hepatitis a IgM antibody test can be indicative of a recently acquired infection, an infection which had been acquired and resolved within the past six months, or a false positive test. Most typically, in infected persons, within 10 to 14 days following the appearance of IgM antibodies, IgG antibodies appear. The fact that it has been more than two weeks since your initial positive test and no IgG antibodies were detected suggests that it is more likely than not that you’re IGM hepatitis A antibody test is falsely positive and does not indicate a true infection.---

Thank you Doctor, you are amazing and do amazing things, doctors are my hero’s and I don’t say that lightly
