 The antibody to HB surface antigen is related to prior HBV vaccination or prior infection. The way to tell the difference is to get a core antibody. If reactive, you were infected with the virus but cleared it. If nonreactive, then you were immunized in the past. If you have no risk factors, it is probably the latter. | ||||||||
