Apparently positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). But wording of the lab result can be confusing: confirm with the doctor or clinic where the test was ordered, or by the lab if you had direct testing without a doctor or clinic. If confirmed positive, you have active hepatitis B and need expert professional care; and to take precautions against transmitting it (e.g. condoms or no sex).
