 If your hepatitis B surface antigen is reactive, I would suggest that you get your virus checked (HBV DNA blood test). Not all persons with a reactive HBV surface antigen test have active disease. You would have to think back to any blood exposures (eg, needle sharing, transfusions) or to any possible sex partner with HBV infection. | ||||||||
