Test Results
Hi can someone help me interpret these blood result for Hep. B. I had a test done and it says Hep. B Core antibody Negative and a Hep. B Surface antibody value of 25.99. This was after 7.5 weeks after one time unprotected vaginal sex. Does this mean I don't have HBV and I am immune? Do I need to test again? Thanks.
B Core antibody Negative
means you were never exposed to HepB.
25.99 for surface antibody likely means you are immune to HepB via vaccination since you are B Core antibody Negative.
Congrats.

I think I have taken the vaccination but doesn't the 25.99 for surface antibody indicate I have been vaccinated? I wasn't tested for surface antigen.
