Hep B Mar 4, 2007 Hi doc, I had the hep B core titer which was reactive. That was in 2003 with all liver enzymes normal before and since. I am currently getting ready to work in a hospital and they want me to have a titer done. I assume because my hep B core was reactive that I have been exposed. What do I need to have done to prove immunity? Thanks, Michael |

 Most hospital employee health programs have a battery of tests, including those for HBV, that they perform on new hires. It is likely they will screen with a surface antibody and/or surface antigen, looking for evidence of immunity or chronic infection. Although they may use other tests. | ||||||||
