Thank you for all the information you provided via email!
The reason why I am reaching out for advice online is because my father is a very well known doctor and I had these tests done at the hospital where he works. As I didn't have any serious symptoms except for the coloration around the mouth he thought nothing of it and thought of the test as a joke, took it very casually and everything changed after the first test results arrived. I believe he went to the lab himself and took the results and only spoke to the lab technician or microbiologist and never consulted a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist. He seemed very worried and at the time, told me that I need to take another test but he was postponing it because he was worried about his reputation he probably didn't want his colleagues to know that his daughter has hepatitis b.
So I had to insist on the second test, made all the possible research on the internet on the markers combinations and everything and I had to write them down on a paper and I guess they used all of the markers the second time only because my father works at the hospital. I don't think other patients get this treatment (which is sad and irresponsible). A few months later again after I was having mental breakdowns at home and convincing my father that I should have a third test or at least talk to a specialist in hepatology he took me to one ( who works as a professor at the medical faculty),
And she suggested anti-Hbs to be tested again to see if I became immune in the meantime. I never took the third test because it had to be done in my father’s hospital and the procedure is very hard if you want to get tested at another hospital which is not your healthcare provider. I live in Macedonia and people here have such small town culture it's sad. I really have to get to the bottom of this because I don't want to get sick and deal with cancer and I want to also know if I am dangerous for other people around me!
Thank you so much for your time and patience! Kind regards
