A member asked:
What does it mean . my test results back as hep b surface ab >1,000 . and in another test its hepatitis b surface ag negative ? is the first test abnormal ?

The pattern you described is typically seen in people vaccinated for Hepatitis B. You have immunity to Hep B as indicated by Hep B surface AB (antibody); and there is no active infection. Lack of Hepatitis B surface AG (antigen) means there is no proliferating virus in your body. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
