yes the person is HBV- and immune. what was the anti hbc result?
thank you
sorry this is the correction
hep b surface antigen -- negative
hep b surface antibody -- positive >1000
hep b core antibody (total) -- positive
would this still be regarded as HBV+ or HBV- ? and immune ?
HBV- and is immune through recovery from a previous infection
thank you genx7 for your help
glad to know HBV- and is immune
may i ask though, how do you know that this interprets HBV- ?
may i ask though, how do you know that this interprets HBV- ?
and what part of the test proves immunity?
negative antigen and positive surface antibodies = hbv- and immunity
negative antigen and positive surface antibodies = hbv- and immunity
still immune, regardless of hep b core antibodies (total) status ?
yes core antibodies just show that the individual has had a previous infection. A positive anti hbc will be the only diffference between a person with immunity through a previous infection and one with immunity through vaccination.
genx7,
thank you again
Last Question!
so this case is immune?
you have already asked this question. YES the person is IMMUNE
