What Does An Abnormal HBsAb Reading Indicate?
I am an RN and had a needle stick. I was told my results were "ok" My HIV 1 & 2 AB/AG were nonreactive. The HCAB was NONREACTIVE but the HBSAB was 24.3 (abnormal)" greater than 10.0 miu/ml... do I have Hepatitis B? or is this a reaction the vaccine I received years ago?
