[worldofsimpleme]

hi. i have just my hepa b titer last july 10, 2010. i just don't know on how to interpret the results. the results was
            HBsAg w/ Titer (ECLIA)
            result: 0.527
            references ranges/comments: C.O.V. 1.000 NONREACTIVE
what does these results means?would that means that i have a hepa b immunity already?i need a certificate of hepa b immunity as a pre-employment requirements. thanks for the help.

in this case you made the wrong test you need to check hbsab not hbsag, that's all

[worldofsimpleme]

it's just that everything is not clear to me.sorry for that.

i had my 3 shots for hepa b vaccine 3 years ago. i just have recently my hepa b titer. do i really have to undergo hbsab test just to confirm hepa b immunity?wouldn't the test i had suffice hepa b immunity?..

[stef2011]

well if you never did vaccine and bever had hbv it is better to make vaccine and then after 3 weeks check for hbsab antibody that confers immunity, i think vaccine is 2-3 shoots check at pharmacy hwere you buy it or at your doctor

[worldofsimpleme]

so i still have to undergo another test?

to certify immunity you need hbsab>10miu/ml, you have checked for the virus but they want to see your immunity antibody and if not positive you need vaccine
