Question 1

what does hepatitis b surface antibody borderline non reactive mean?

Accepted Answer

In many laboratories: a "borderline nonreactive" result is reported as "indeterminate."  A positive result is an antibody titer  
&gt;12 mIU/mL; this means the individual is immune to hepatitis B.  A negative result is &lt;5.0. The CDC defines a fairly large range of indeterminate: &gt; 5.0 but &lt; 12.0. Indeterminate means "unable to determine immune status." Most would advise (re)immunization in this case. Stay well:)

Question 2

what does a test result showing hepatitis b surface antigen negative non reactive mean?

Accepted Answer

No hep b: Hepatitis b surface antigen is present during an active infection with hepatitis b. When it is negative, it means that there is no hepatitis b virus particles in your bloodstream. It could mean you have never had hepatitis b, or you no longer have hepatitis b.

Question 3

hello docs, does being hbsag non reactive mean you are free from hepa b virus?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you may: Need vaccination. Lack of hep b surface antigen means that there is no active infection. But you may be susceptible to infection and if you are not immune, you should get vaccinated. See this site for explanation of hepatitis b testing.

Question 4

is elisa test for hiv 1 & 2 antibodies conclusive after 8-9 weeks of exposure? does non-reactive mean negative?

Accepted Answer

ELISA for HIV: The ELISA test is not conclusive after any amount of time.  The ELISA is a screening test and if it comes back positive, a Western blot will need to be done.  Non-reactive is a good thing to be and it does mean that you are negative for HIV virus. Although there is a window period when you can have the HIV virus but still have a nonreactive result. Another test may be needed in that case. Suerte

Question 5

what does cia non-reactive syphilis mean?  does that mean i need more tests?

Accepted Answer

Depends on timing,Sx: The answer depends on the timing of possible exposure to syphilis &amp; any symptoms (Sx) that you may have. So, it's impossible to answer your question here. Use HealthTap Prime or talk to the doctor who ordered the test. CIA, or chemiluminescence assays, are REACTIVE when treponemal (bacteria that causes syphilis) antibodies detected. It can be Non-Reactive in early stages (false neg) despite Sx. GL
