 If you have HIV, you should have testing for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B core (anti-HBcore) and/or Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs). If your HBsAg is reactive, you should have testing for HBV DNA as well. If you do not have infection, you should be immunized against Hepatitis A and B. | ||||||||
