Antibodies to Hepatitis B Core (anit-HBc)
by mello, Mar 05, 2002 12:00AM
I donated blood with the American Red Cross in mid February, and just received my test results today. All the results came back negative, but one...
Though I tested negative for "Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HGsAg, EIA)," I did test positive for "Antibodies to Hepatitis B Core (anti-HBc) (test includes total IgG and IgM)."
Can you please describe what these results mean? Have I been exposed to Hepatitis B without contracting the virus? Should I seek further Hepatitis B testing from my doctor?
Thank you so much for your help!
