Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Bag is the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Positive test indicates presently you are having hepatitis B infection. Positive Bag tests can be due to recent vaccination against Hepatitis B virus. However, this positivity is unlikely to persist beyond 14 days post-vaccination. Head is envelope antigen and is a hepatitis B viral protein. Positive test is an indicator of active viral replication and states the person is infectious. It means the person infected with Hepatitis B is likely transmitted the virus on to another person. Your test results states that you are positive for Hepatitis B but not in infectious state. You can be treated with antiviral medications and interferons. Kindly consult Physician with the reports for evaluation of the same and further management. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
