Hello,
Your tests say that you are not carrying any Hepatitis B virus mostly ( as you test says Hbsag negative) and your body have developed antibodies ( as your tests says HbcAb positive ) , your virus is undetectable( below the level that is not detectable under a certain limit), but if your Anti HbC is positive, sometimes very rarely you can have an occult infection ( that means though you have negative hbsag you might be carrying the virus), since your HBV D A is below the detectable levels , you need not worry , you please consult your Gastroenterologist you will have to be doing few other tetas and please be under continues follow up and keep repeating tests every 3 months , as advised by your doctor, also get an USG abdomen to see the liver and Spleen also. Summary: you need to be under regular follow up with regular investigations.Hope I could help you.
Thank you.
