Frequently Asked Questions
What does a positive Anti-HBs result mean?
A result of ≥10 mIU/mL indicates protective immunity against Hepatitis B, either from prior vaccination or resolved infection.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for Anti-HBs quantitative testing.
What does a negative Anti-HBs result indicate?
A result below 10 mIU/mL suggests no protective immunity. Vaccination may be recommended, especially for high-risk individuals.
How long does vaccine-induced immunity last?
Immunity from Hepatitis B vaccination typically persists for at least 20 years, though antibody levels may decline over time.
Can I get Hepatitis B if my Anti-HBs is positive?
A positive Anti-HBs result (≥10 mIU/mL) indicates protection. You are unlikely to contract Hepatitis B from exposure.
