The above tests are done to detect Hepatitis B Virus infection. What you have mentioned in your report like HBsAg , HBeAg and anti HBc are markers of Hepatitis B Virus. These help in detection of the status of Hepatitis B infection. Cut off value given there indicates that reading above the cut off value is positive i.e. it is present . Now HBsAg is surface antigen of Hepatitis B Virus, for you the result is above cut off value so you are infected with HEPATITIS B Virus. Secondly Anti HBC Igm indicates recent or current infection for which your values are above cut off value. So u have a existing infection because HBsAg is also reactive. HBeAg shows active replication and infective type, that is negative for you..... it's likely with the above results that you become a carrier of HBV. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation.
