both tests need to be done quantitatively to better understand this situation.
hbsab negative - no antibodies to hep b
hbsag positive - you currently are infected with hepatitis b
either accute or chronic we are not sure, but you need to do hep b igm test to make sure.
below is a link to understand results.

From my point of view but I am no doctor or specialist you are currently chronically infected with a low viral dna.
I think you should be hbeag - and if not in the US you should test for hbsag quantitive. This along with the igm test will tell you if you are accute infection, chronic infection, inactive carrier , active carrier.
your viral load or copies of hep b being detected in your blood is 653 for december and the fluctualtion from sept it seems that you hover around this area of copies of virus.
you need these test
hbeag
hbigm
fibroscan
ultrasound
is anyone else in your family infected? always start with family members especially mother or siblings first. this will give you a clue if you are chronic. if your siblings and mother or mother is infected more than likely you are chronic and infected at birth.
Hello guys again,
I had requested Hep B tests with quantitative for three "levels" for this virus. However, both tests came just with regular results as these labs do not perform tests on quant/numbers.
The latest results, Dec 2015
Hep B Surface Antibody - NEGATIVE
Hep B Surface Antigen - POSITIVE ( note: this is screening test only...)
Hep B Core Antibody, total POSITIVE
Results from Sept 2015:
Hep B DNA 3847
Hep B DNA copies 21643
Results from Dec 2015
Hep B DNA 653
Hep B DNA copies 3800
Hepatitis Be Antigen Beagr - NEGATIVE
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen POSITIVE
Hepatitis B Core Antibody,total POSITIVE
Hep B DNA IU/ML 2.8
Hep B DNA Copies 3.6
Do anyone knows how to understand this results ?
Thanks

Thank you guys.
Can someone of you please type it down what tests exactly she needs to do in order to determine where she is with hep b right now ? I'll need this clear to copy and take to this doctor and not to make anything confused. I'll appreciate your help. Thanks.
also hbv dna test would be useful
i agree with studyforhope.
