Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that there is chance of first test to be negative and the report is false positive. Yes we are talking about hepatitis B. Because two different laboratory test can't be negative simultaneously. So do not worry there is nothing to worry about, your daughter is HbsAg negative.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
Infectious disease specialist.
Wish you a best health at health care magic.
