2 Billion Infected Hepatits B - Test Results
If you are on of this 2.000.000.000 People (2 Billion) infected with Hepatitis B (and 350.000.000 chronical)
you may interested to read the Test Results.
in Short: Test on
anti-hbs . positive = means you are immun
anti hbsag . positive = means you are infected
anti hbeag . positive = means you can infect others
anti hbc . with hbs = means you are recovered not carrier
HBsAg (anti-HBs)
When HBsAg disapears and anti-HBs (Serokonversion) apears you are classified as healed
Test for Antibodies
* Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs): a positive result indicates immunity to hepatitis B from the vaccination or recovery from an infection.
* Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): A negative result indicates that a person has recovered from acute hepatitis and has rid themselves of the virus. A positive (or reactive) result indicates an active infection but does not indicate whether the virus can be passed to others.
* Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg): A positive (or reactive) result indicates the presence of virus that can be passed to others. A negative result usually means the virus cannot be spread to others, except in parts of the world where infection with strains that cannot make this protein are common.
* Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc): If it is present with a positive anti-HBs, it usually indicates recovery from an infection and the person is not a carrier. In acute infection, the first type of antibody to HBc to appear is an IgM antibody. Testing for this type of antibody can prove whether a person has recently been infected by HBV (where IgM anti-HBc would be positive) or for some time (where IgM anti-HBc would be negative).
* HBV DNA: A positive (or reactive) result indicates the presence of virus that can be passed to others. A negative result usually means the virus cannot be spread to others, especially if tests that can pick up as few as 1,000 viruses (copies) in one mL of blood are used.
Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) is an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. The core antigen is found on virus particles but disappears early in the course of infection. This antibody is produced during and after an acute HBV infection and is usually found in chronic HBV carriers as well as those who have cleared the virus, and usually persists for life.
Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) is a viral protein associated with HBV infections. Unlike the surface antigen, the e-antigen is found in the blood only when there are viruses also present. When the virus goes into “hiding,” the e-antigen will no longer be present in the blood. HBeAg is often used as a marker of ability to spread the virus to other people (infectivity). M
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein antigen produced by HBV. This antigen is the earliest indicator of acute hepatitis B and frequently identifies infected people before symptoms appear.
