 Hello and thanks for your post. A reactive antibody tests means that your body's immune system reacts to a particular substance (or we call "antigen"). In your case, the test means that your body produces the a type of antibody (called IgG) that recognizes (aka, "anti") hepatitis A virus. This test could either be the result of vaccination (as you've had) or natural infection. In either event, this means that you have immune protection against future hepatitis A infection. I hope that clarifies things. BY | ||||||||
