Overview
What is Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Test - Confirmation?
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) test is used to determine the presence of Hepatitis B viral infection by measuring the amount of HBsAg in the blood. Hep B virus spreads mainly through body fluids or unsafe sexual intercourse. Hep B antigen is expressed on the surface of Hepatitis B virus and its detection is a preliminary test to check the infection at an earliest possible stage.
Interpreting Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Test - Confirmation results
Interpretations
A "Reactive" or "Positive" HBsAg test result means that the person is infected with Hepatitis B virus. If a person tests “positive,” then further testing is required to determine if this is a new “acute” infection or a “chronic” Hepatitis B infection or chronic HBV carrier state.
A "Non-reactive" or "Negative" HBsAg test result means that the person is not infected with Hepatitis B virus.
