Hepatitis B - Recurrent infection?

Question

I know with Hep B some people are infected, then the body clears the infection. If the body clears the infection, is there a possibility that there could be another 'breakout?' Or, at that point, if the body clears it indepedently, are you still at further risk for infection?

Answer 1

No. Once you develop antibodies to it, you are immune for life. Soon after the infection clears, anti-hep.B IgM antibodies will be found, and later, IgG.
