Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Normal results are negative or nonreactive, meaning that no hepatitis B surface antigen was found. You need not worry any further about this. You have a misconception that you have the antibodies. These tests can look for antigens on the surface, envelope, and core of the virus, as well as the antibodies to these antigens.
