Hep A reactive?

Hey everyone, first time here, but from the Lyme forum.

I just switched Lyme specialists and at my initial appointment she ordered a gazillion labs, of which included a hep a, b, and c panel (14 vials of blood). Anyway, nurse just called and said hep b and c were nonreactive but a was reactive. After doing some research, I believe that this can happen one of three ways. One is I have a current infection, two is I was once infected, and three is I was vaccinated. Does this sound right?
I will check with my parents to see if I was vaccinated as a child as I don't remember. I do know I was vaccinated for b, however.

Also, my liver enzymes are always mildly elevated, but this is from all of the high-dose antibiotics I am on for Lyme (no choice).

Thanks!

Hi Fronton! Welcome to the Hep forum.

From Mayo Clinic, on Hep A:

"You're most likely to contract hepatitis A from contaminated food or water or from close contact with someone who's infected. Mild cases of hepatitis A don't require treatment, and most people who are infected recover completely with no permanent liver damage."

That is the good news, right? Not sure how you contracted it, but Hep A highly contagious. We don't have many pop in here with Hep A questions. I don't know much about it, other than when I returned ill from South America once, and Central America a few times, I returned very ill. I was tested for Hep A. So far, I test non-reactive ;) Again, Welcome. Big Hugs

Thanks everyone. I am going to test for igg and igm antibodies next week to determine if it is an active or prior infection. I honestly highly doubt it's active as I have zero symptoms. . .

Parts per million guy, yes, long term. I have been on them for 8 months now. Prior to Lyme I was against taking antibiotics for anything unless absolutely necessary and here I am now going all in. It's not fun.
I do check my liver functions every three weeks to ensure minimal to no damage. Some are more harmful than others.
