Sorry, this can't be sorted out with the info provided. Ask the lab if the doctor's office still can't explain. However, if the test was done long enough after your last possible exposure (8 weeks or more), the Ab only and AgAb test results are equally reliable. The only difference between them is 6 weeks versus 8 weeks.
