Hi doctor, I have attached my three medical test reports, of which, two are for HBV, and one result is for HCV. These results are almost six months old, and they were taken exactly after six months of potential exposure to these viruses. I have not had any symptoms in the past one year, but I understand that most of the people do not either recognize or experience any symptoms. Other than that, I also had a fourth generation ELISA HIV test six months back. What do these results show? Do I need to get tested further?
Hi. I have seen the test reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Here is my interpretation. For hepatitis B surface antibody, a level less than five is considered negative, while a level more than 12 is considered protective. So, you have hepatitis B antibody titer of three, which suggests that there are not enough antibodies against hepatitis B virus in your body. So, you should get hepatitis B vaccination. Regarding hepatitis C virus, it is nonreactive, meaning you do not have hepatitis C virus infection also. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
