I took hepatitis B vaccine abt 7 yrs back.Now in a blood test my HbsAg level s borderline.What does it indicate?The doctor said it can be false/pseudo positive and i have 2 check again.Pls help me.Can i also know how does syphilis spread other than sexual methods??Does it spread from using public toilets?
Hello, Welcome to ChatDoctorThanks for posting your query in Chat Doctor. As your Bag levels are borderline it is probably false positive result. So, i would advise you to repeat the test once again in different lab for confirmation of the diagnosis. The most common way to get syphilis is by having sexual contact with an infected person. It cannot get transmitted from sharing food or utensils, or from using tubs, pools, or toilets. Syphilis can be passed from mother to infant during pregnancy, causing a disease called congenital syphilis. Hope you are happy with the answer. Thank you
