A member asked:
My boyfriend has hepatitis b antibodies, what does that mean?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
More testing: Positive hepatitis antibodies could mean that he has been exposed to or infected with hepatitis b virus, or it could mean that he has previously received a vaccine for hepatitis b. Obviously, he would know if he had been previously vaccinated because it requires a series of three shots. To determine which is the explanation, his doctor would need to perform further blood tests.
