Can Hepatitis B Turn Negative Naturally?

Hepatitis B is a common infectious disease. Regardless of the occupation, companies will require normal physical examinations during the recruitment process. This involves testing for Hepatitis B. If a person is detected with Hepatitis B, it may affect their employment. Therefore, it is essential for everyone to have a more comprehensive understanding of Hepatitis B. However, some individuals who have confirmed Hepatitis B always hope for it to spontaneously resolve itself. Is Hepatitis B capable of spontaneous resolution? Let's delve into a detailed introduction below.

Clinical data and practical cases fully demonstrate that Hepatitis B carriers can naturally resolve the virus. Clinical data shows that approximately 3% of Hepatitis B carriers naturally resolve the virus each year. Among those with "big three positives," the probability of naturally resolving to "small three positives" is approximately 10%. Among those with "small three positives," about 5% naturally resolve the virus annually, and the virus cannot be detected in their bodies.

Data indicates that the natural resolution of Hepatitis B in carriers is related to age and gender factors. The proportion of female Hepatitis B carriers who naturally resolve the virus can reach almost 8%-10%. Carriers aged 2-14 generally have stable virus levels, and the probability of natural resolution is low, but most are in a stable phase. Elderly individuals aged 55-70 rarely carry Hepatitis B, with a carriage rate of less than 5%. Those over 70 years old have almost achieved self-clearance of Hepatitis B from their bodies.

Based on the above data, we can observe that there is a relatively high probability of Hepatitis B carriers naturally resolving the virus. Furthermore, with the increasing promotion of prevention and control measures, the incidence rate of Hepatitis B carriers has gradually decreased from 40% at the beginning of the century to 10-15% currently. Additionally, as national preventive measures continue to strengthen, the proportion of Hepatitis B infections is decreasing year by year. Therefore, if you are a Hepatitis B carrier, it is crucial to maintain a calm mindset and understand that you are not different from others. In most cases, you are either in a stable Hepatitis B carrier state or on the path to natural resolution. Like everyone else, by taking care of your body and not indulging in unhealthy habits, you can achieve a healthy and long life, leading to a happy and fulfilling family life.
