The rate of anti-positive antibodies among Chinese people is very high. In essence, as long as the liver function is normal, these people are healthy and there should be no unnecessary worry. However, when going to study abroad for a physical examination, many Australian anti-positive friends are worried about whether the abnormality of this indicator will affect their final departure. Because of the different opinions, they are even more confused about what to do, thinking that it is a very serious problem.

Based on the results of five indicators of hepatitis B, these five indicators are: HBsAg (i.e. Australian anti-antibody), HBsAb, HBcAb, HBeAg and HBeAb.

1. Anti-Australian positive, The other four indicators were negative.

This situation is normal and a health certificate will be issued.

2. Macaoantigen is positive, but it is a small three positive, that is, the first, fourth, and fifth indicators are positive, and the liver function is normal.

This situation is normal and a health certificate will be issued.

3. Macaoantigen is positive, but it is a major three yang, that is, the first, third, and fourth indicators are positive, and the liver function is normal.

This situation is actually considered healthy, but according to the regulations of our country’s health and quarantine department, no health certificate will be issued.

4. Macau anti-positive, major three yang, and abnormal liver function.

In this case, it is likely that you have suffered from hepatitis. It is best to cure the disease before leaving. After all, the body is the capital of revolution!

The above situations 1, 2, and 3 do not affect exit from China. Health certificates are not required when entering the United States.

If it's the third situation and you don't have a health certificate, it's okay. You can use the "Physical Examination Record for International Travelers" form to leave the country, no problem!
