Hi Paul,
I have tested
HBsAg not detected
HBcAb detected
anti HBs not detected
I'm really confused with this result as obviously not detected does not mean negative, so there's probably some virus particles that can be spread to others, am i right? Or is the testing system just cannot show complete zero, because it is a quantitative not qualitative test?
I contacted the lab but they were not able to answer my questions. I'm also worrying that I may have an occult or mutant form of HBV, as in spite of good results I have great pains in the upper right quadrant where liver is, and my GP cannot explain that because the tests are generally fine. Can I do any tests to find out whether it is a mutant or an occult case and whether it is possible at all after 24 years?
