How much positive? What is the titer? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, low titer result may not be meaningful, and you may not have any disease. Wish you good health!
