Hepatitis B Core Antibody Reactive

[chris]

I recently attempted to donate blood however, I received a letter from the blood center saying that I tested positive/reactive to Hepatitis B Core Antibody, but negative for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen.  However, three years ago before entering college I received the set of three immunizations against Hepatitis.  I was wondering if you could tell me what having tested reactive for the Hepatitis B Core Antibody means and how this could have happened if I was immunized.  
Thank You,
Chris

Check your previous test thoroughly  for hbsab, usually it is done in the hbv package. It can be called differently like anti-hbs, hbs antibodies, australian antigen antibodies...

[vivek1412]

Thanks Rome for your reply

I will get hbsab tested in asap and will share the results

Thanks again for support

[Rome70]

Your tests show that you had hbv infection in the past. But to tell if you have completely recovered you need to test hbsab quantitative.

Your alt is high, it is either the remains of hbv or result of obesity or alcohol.

[Rome70]

It means that you have acute hbv infection that usually resolves by itself in 6 to 9 months. Keep your immune system healthy and you are contagious so stay away especially from children and pregnants.

[Katlachen]

hello all, I recently test for Hept B. My test result come out Surface Antigen +, Core IgG & IgM +, hept C AB --, and Surface AB--. What does this mean to me?

[Rome70]

To check if you are contagious you must test test hbv dna, preferably ultra-sensitive test.

Unless hbc igg test was false positive, it will be always positive.

[ken8886]

will there still be a possibility that my hbc igg will be negative?

[ken8886]

am I contagious? I mean will I be able to transfer the virus to others?

[Rome70]

It is neg because you either recovered or on the mend or have occult hbv (unlikely event)

When you have recovered you should develop untibodies for HbsAg in good quantity.
But even then you may have cccDNA somewhere that may produce virus in small quantities, to clear cccDNA need a lt of time.

[ken8886]

but why is it that my hbsag is negative?

[Rome70]

I mean that you were infected for sure.

[ken8886]

you mean that I was just exposed but not infected? im pretty much worried about this.

[Rome70]

Hbc igg positive means that you were exposed to hbv. To make sure that you have recovered you must test hbsab quantitive and hbv dna.

[ken8886]

I donated blood twice and my HBC IGG was positive but my hbs antibody said to be "immuned" and hbs ag was negative. what does this HBC igg positive means? does it mean that I am a hepa b carrier or what? coz im going crazy bout this. the blood bank doesn't want to accept my blood anymore coz of this positive HBC igg

thanks,
ken
