Question
Hello doctor,
Blood test results for hepatitis B are as follows: HBsAg negative 0.41, anti Hbs 29.9, total anti HBc positive 0.51. So the doctor asked me if a woman with a negative HBsAg 0.41 has any effect? Do I have hepatitis B? I thank the doctor.

Answered by Master, Doctor Tran Thi Vuong - Department of Laboratory, Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “What is the effect of female HBsAg negative 0.41? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your test result is HBsAg negative. So now, you are not infected with hepatitis B. Your anti-HBs result is 29.9, which means you are immune to hepatitis B virus, although this antibody level is still low. The total anti-HBc result is positive 0.51, which means you have ever been infected with hepatitis B. The above results show that you have been infected with hepatitis B but have recovered and your body has started to have immunity to the hepatitis B virus. You need to be tested periodically, to see if the amount of antibodies to the hepatitis B virus increases or decreases over time.
If you still have questions about women with HBsAg negative 0.41, 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!
