 Your surface antigen test should have been automatically reverified so this should not be a false positive. However, if you are not at risk of HBV, I would request a repeat test to be certain that perhaps a blood sample was mislabeled, etc... Otherwise, yes you are an inactive carrier and do need serial follow-up. I would assume this latter case if you are at risk. | |||||||||
