 You are not chronically infected with hepatitis B since your HBsAg test is nonreactive. Your surface antibodies indicated protection. I don't know if you are protected because of prior infection that cleared or.... prior vaccination. I would get a hepatitis B core IgG test. If positive, you had prior infection that cleared. If negative, you were immunized in the past. | ||||||||
