Hepatitis Test results
I am confused I am starting a job in a hospital and I got checked for Hepatitis B. A negative came back on HEP B SURFACE AB/IMMUNITY
HB SURFACE AB.
REACTIVE On Hepatitis A because I was vacinated before I went to culinary school.
HEP B CORE ANTIBODY (HBCAB)
HB CORE (TOTAL) NON REACTIVE.
I am getting vacinated for Hepatitis B 3 series.
The reason I am asking is in the HB CORE (TOTAL) that NON REACTIVE result may not indicate that I was not infected with HBV. But I am getting vacinated for Hep. B. I am confused.
Thanks

I know that shots protect you but do my test results say that I have it. What does non reactive mean?
