 You have an isolated hepatitis B core antibody. This can be a false positive test; on the other hand it could suggest past exposure with loss of surface antibody over time. If you are relatively young and have no risk factors, I suspect it may be a false positive. If you are at risk of hepatitis B infection, I would get vaccinated. | ||||||||
