Hallo, Paul,
Thank you very much for talking with me last night. I felt much better after we had talked, and appreciate the time you gave me.I have not received the e mail from you, yet, and wondered if you had perhaps not got my e mail address properly. Certainly,my name is not an easy one to spell! On the other hand, it is possible you have not yet sent me the e mail with all the info in it. But, in case there has been a mistake in my e mail address, i thought i would send you this, which should have my e mail on it-----This evening, i am going to spend a week with a friend in Brighton (accompanied with my 4 little dogs!) By the time i return, i am hoping i will be able to get my results from the doctor surgery. I will ring you when i have them.I hope to receive the info pack today, before i go, if possible------but if it is not possible, i will see it on my return. I have spoken to my GP about the results of my blood test. As yet, i do not have a copy. My GP said that there were no surface antigens detected. She said that they only tested for acute, active Hep B infection. She said i obviously do not have this. But, when i asked her if i still carried the virus, and also if i was still infectious, she did not know the answer to this.
So, i do not know if i still carry the virus, or if i am lucky, and it has cleared completely. She said they did not test for anti bodies, but only tested for the surface antigen.She is a nice GP, but she has only known me for 3 years, and did not know me when i was Australian Antigen positive. I did tell her about this, though, and i assume it is in my computerized medical notes?My liver function test was normal.Do you think i am OK, and can now assume that i am completely clear of the virus, and that it will not ever come back? If there is no
detected surface antigen, does that mean i am clear forever?I might write to my GP, and ask her if she could reassure me about this. But, i wondered what your opinion on this is, Paul?
Many thanks for your help and support.
Best wishes,
