Dear Paul, Thank you for your reply and taking time to read the results so late and all! And for confirming kind of what I was already hoping you would say!! One more thing if you don’t mind to answer? Would the results suggest he has had Hepb in the past? Or how else does he come to have the anti bodies? Are some people just born with the anti bodies? I am sorry to ask you when i can imagine you have people with bigger problems to help. I just want to say though how disappointed i am with the medical profession, who sent me away with a belief my husband had chronic hepb! And no one able to even see me to get answers till the end of the week! And if it had not been for my determination to figure it out and your help we still would nt know any more! ( i had to demand the hospital send me his results cos they only wanted to send to the gp!) So thanks again, you do a great job and if u ever send out info for support or fund raising for your organisation keep me on your mailing list, you do a great job and deserve all the support in the world (even if we only needed it for a couple of days) but then i guess that’s the point!

This lady had her husband in a serious accident and as an aside to his car accident injuries and surgery she was told he was HBcAb positive after asking she was told he had chronic HBV and it could activate at any time. This left her thinking after years of marriage she could well be infected and also the children. Upon demanding the results we were able to see it was an old cleared infection and not as she was told a chronic one, simple slip the triage dealing with emergencies are not hep experts and can get things wrong. beyond that the worry in these cases is the patient is not referred to a liver expert and one never learns their status through shame or two gets left unreferred with a GP who then forgets about referring the infection. I always wish those diagnosed by accident in hospitals got referred back to the liver unit straight away rather than left with a GP to maybe arrange one. Luckily the lady above rang and we told her how to get a print out of the result to make certain it was an old infection.
