| Response from Dr. Taylor
 Your hepatitis B surface antigen (often abbreviated sAg) is negative. This together with your other results means that there is not a chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Your core total being positive (Hbcab) and core IgM being negative indicate that you have been exposed to hepatitis B in the past but not very recently. This is consistent all of the other results. So the bottom line is that you were exposed to hepatitis B but cleared your infection. You do NOT have chronic hepatitis B infection. | ||||||||
