| Response from Dr. McGovern
 A reactive test means a positive test. You were exposed to hepatitis A in the past. Hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease so you need not worry about this. Your hepatitis B and C tests are negative. No prior exposure. If you are at risk for hepatitis B, I would get vaccinated. | ||||||||
