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