My test reads as follows...  the first one 8/28/09. HbsAg Screen negative. Hep be Ag Negative. Hep B core ab igm negative. hep be core tot positive abnormal.hep b surface ab 57.27 High.  What is the meaning of the number? inconsistent with immunity 0.00-0.99   consistent with immunity 0.99

Retook the test on 10/15/09 by a different lab and all my results were negative.

Took the hepatitis panel on 7/13/10 by the same second lab and again I was negative non reactive. Is this making any sense to anybody? Do I have it or not because my doctor was of no help to me...Very Sad Lady

Is this medical misconduct in a way?

yes, very ignorant doctors sue them or change doctors, if you never had hbsag positive, hbsab negative and hbvdna pcr positive in your tests you have always been immune.

these stupid doctors told you are cronic while you are perfectly healthy, according to my country's law you can sue them for a lot of money because thinking you were ill might have cause many damage to you

So that is why I tested negative twice after the intial test? Even with a negative result I was tOLd I was positve with chronic passive based on the results from the first test. Is this medical misconduct in a way?

hep b surface ab 57.27 High

you already had hbv and cleared it, you are totally immune.

if you want to be ultra sure even against very rare occult hbv just make a hbvdna test with pcr sensitivity 5-10iu/ml but it is super rare so probably wasted money

If "HbsAg Screen negative", you don't have HBV now.
