Question
Hello doctor,
I tested for hepatitis B with the following results: -Hbsag fast: Negative; -Hbeab rapid test: positive. After the test was over, the doctor asked me to go back for a test at a liver specialist hospital because the doctor said the quick test did not evaluate it all properly because I told the doctor that I had received 4/5 hepatitis vaccines. B and the 5th dose is in 2022. And the doctor told me to go back for a test at a liver specialist hospital and the result was Anti (Hbs) >1000.00 and the doctor said I'm immune to hepatitis B virus and said the first place I tested positive for Hbeab was the false result. Doctor let me ask if anti-HBs immunity is infected with hepatitis B? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Is anti-Hbs immune to hepatitis B infection?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to the tests of hospitals, the ability to test HBeAb is not accurate, but you should do more HBcAb total test and monitor liver status every 6 months. If the test is normal, then it is possible that you do not have hepatitis B virus.
If you still have questions about hepatitis B, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further testing and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
