Not a very active forum. You can also try here

as the HBV forum has more members and are generally more knowledgeable about antibody/antigen test results.

I agree with Jasmine...you don't have Hep A.  But you need to of have a Hep A Total Antibody Test to see if you have had any exposure to Hep A in the past.  (I don't know if your test was a "Total" or not).  Once you have the Total Antibody Test and it comes back negative or non-reactive, you can get vaccinated for Hep A if you are at risk.

You might want to go to the Hep A forum because they would know more than us Hep Cer's probably.

Have a great day!

Typically a non reactive antibody test means you do not have the disease. You should speak with your doctor to confirm.  

Please note this is a hep c forum, not a hep a forum.  If you have further questions you may wish to post to the hep a forum.
