Response from Dr. McGovern
 You are someone with "isolated" core antibody. This can mean: 1. New infection 2. A false positive result 3. Prior infection with loss of surface antibody over time. If you do not have risk factors for Hepatitis B it is likely a false positive result. If you have risk of acquiring hepatitis B, you will still need a vaccine to protect you. |
