What is the mean of darminant hbv? is it catagious to others or not?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor , Dormant means the virus is present in your liver, but it is not causing any damage. Anytime it may become active, multiply and damage your liver. Yes you are contagious once you are positive for Hepatitis B, but the chances of spreading infection is low, when the virus is dormant. When the virus is active your chances of infecting others is very high. Hope I answered your question.
