So lab work reveals I am positive for Anti-HBc and Anti-HBs but negative for HBs-Ag. I've tried to decipher the meaning of this prior to deciding which doctor to consult - i want to be a little clued up before a consultation, so far my understanding is this: Not from a distant vaccine as Anti-HBc would be negative? It's from a previous infection, that the body has cleared. (according to an NHS scotland pdf) HBs-Ag being negative means nothing is currently active, my liver isn't getting beat up by this virus today minute by minute? There is no way with the above trio to determine roughly an infection date - could be 20 years ago? Is that roughly correct? Smallest liver profile package came back normal - AST and ALT are 19, and Alk Phos 48. Do I need to do anything? Do I need to watch out in future? Can it re-occur? Should I get any more tests to get a better understanding of whats currently happening?
