Positive Core Antibody Apr 13, 2006 I have been diagnosed as surface antigen negative, surface antibodies negative, core antibodies positive. I have been vaccinated and had antibodies at one point (tested postive for surface antibodies after my vaccination), but now surface antibodies are negative. My doctor is not sure if I am a chronic carrier of HBV. My boyfriend has not been vaccinated and has tested negative for surface antigen, surface antibodies, and core antibody. What should I do next to find out if I am a carrier? thanks |

 You are definitely not a carrier because your surface antigen is negative. I would not get further testing. Dr. M | ||||||||
