Dear Sir,Madam

HBsAg    positive
then i repeat the test second time and give the following result:
TEST           RESULT            UNIT                           NORMAL RANGE
HBsAg         149.1                 S/Co                           Negative: 1.2

HBsAb          <3.0                   mIU/ml                       Negative:10 Immunized >20

please i need to know what the meaning of the number her and i consider as infected person ot no

The HBsAg is only positive for people infected with the hepatitis B acutely or those that were infected but are carrying it chronically. In your case you are positive, which means you have been infected with the virus.

The HBsAb test will be positive for people who have recovered from the virus. If I understand correctly the normal range in your labe, it looks as if up to 10 means negative. Since your test is <3 your result is negative. With the results of the HBsAg this means that either you have been infected recently and haven't recovered yet, or that you are a chronic carrier of the virus and your body didn't produce any antibodies against it.

Have a third test 6 months from the second to determine if you are acute or chronic.
