A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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. http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hbv/pdfs/serologicchartv8.pdf.
