HBsAg Stands For Hepatitis B surface antigen, It is a blood test used to check if a person is infected with the hepatitis B virus. If specific antibodies are found in this test, it means the person has a hepatitis B infection. This also means that the person is positive for HBsAg and that others may get this infection through their blood or body fluids. HBsAg can be detected in the blood during both acute and chronic infections.

A positive HBsAg test result indicates hepatitis B infection, which can be transmitted through blood. In contrast, a positive or reactive anti-HBs (HBsAb) result suggests immunity to hepatitis B, indicating the person is negative or Non-reactive HBsAb for the viral infection. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for accurate interpretation of HBsAg and anti-HBs test results and appropriate management.

Negative- Non- Reactive
Positive - Reactive
There is no specific normal range for HBsAg levels. Instead, the test results are interpreted as positive, negative, or indeterminate. A result of less than 5 mIU/mL is typically considered negative, while a result of more than 12 mIU/mL suggests protective immunity. Results between 5 and 12 mIU/mL are considered indeterminate and should be repeated for clarification.

What does the HbsAg Test Measure ?
The HBsAg test is used to check for acute or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. It helps in determining the need for post-test counseling and linkage to care, as well as guiding further treatment planning for the disease. Additionally, the test can help determine if a person is immune to HBV due to prior infection or vaccination.
Why should I do the HbsAg Test ?
The HBsAg blood test is necessary to detect Hepatitis B infection. If the test shows a positive result, it means your blood and body fluids contain the virus and you can transmit it to others. This test is crucial for confirming the diagnosis and initiating treatment to prevent further spread and take necessary precautions.
