| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Because you have a reactive HBsurface antigen and core antibody you are considered to have chronic HBV infection. However, I don't know if you have active or inactive disease until you get some testing of liver function tests (eg, ALT) and testing for virus (HBV DNA). | ||||||||
