HBsAG reactive range

[smks]

today i recieved my HBsAG report . and following is written on my report

HEP.B.SURFACE ANTIGEN............... REACTIVE (3843)

           Cutoff rate is............ 1.0 (Test performed by ECLIA)

Now kindly tell me what does REACTIVE(3843) means ? is it severe?

But my another test of HEPATITIS B VIRUS BY PCR states that:

"Hepatitis B Virus DNA not detected"

Now i am confused b/w Surface Antigen test report and PCR test report. What should i do now?

the stupid number in this obsolete test is confusing for patients and has nothing to do with hbsag, it is just a number which correlates to the reagents used in the test
