A member asked:

I had a titers test done & on the hep b surface ab it says reactive nr, what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear question: Did you get hep b vaccination? Was the test for just ab to surface antigen or both antibody and surface antigen? It would be helpful to discuss the results with the doctor who ordered the tests.
