Why not ask the doctor?

Hi,

Âm tính = Negative

Dương tính = Positive

Cheers,

Based on Nhung's translations, it would appear that you are immune due to a prior natural Hep B infection but not contagious.

Check the matrix here:  https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/pdfs/ … hartv8.pdf

This should not be an impediment for either a visa or a work permit.  Last week you indicated that you received an injection but that should not be a problem and will act as a booster.  This was exactly my wife's status and her doctor in the US went with a single booster injection.

Thanks

Last week i did not do any injection, only blood taken

Today after i showed this results to the doctor, he said, " no need vaccin , your body produce vaccin, you can go. "

I was under the impression that I need a vaccin shot even im negative, but maybe i was wrong

Sorry that I misread your post on the other thread and thought you had received a vaccination.

With respect to "even if I am negative" you are not.  You are positive but only positive for prior infection. You do not have either acute or chronic infection which would require action on your part. 

Some time in the past you must have contracted Hep B and shaken it off.  Perhaps you had a mild dose or perhaps your body has a very strong immune system that attacked the virus quickly and effectively.  You could have a booster but it is probably not necessary.  My wife's doctor had her take a booster because she (the doctor) assumed that it was a childhood infection and my wife is well north of 40.  If you can safely assume that your infection was recent (in BKK?) then your immunity should be strong.
