Hello Doctors. I am 20 years old this coming April 07. Last February 11 2011, I went to healthway medical to test my blood and after that i saw the results that i am HBS AG(SCREENING)REACTIVE. What is it means? and what are the symptoms? Please help me doctors to understand whats going on. Thanks
Hi & Welcome to Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. It is suggestive of acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection. The presence of Head indicates that the blood and body fluids of the infected individual are highly contagious. I advise you to consult your physician for further evaluation like certain lab tests including liver function tests, anti-HBS, Head, IGM to Bag, etc. Hope this will help you.
