If your Hepatitis B Test report comes back reactive, the first thing to do is to get tested on another day, with a fresh sample by an alternative method. This rules out false positives, that are sometimes seen. If you are on any antibiotics or have taken any medications, inform the lab, as these may cause false positive reactions
Once your sample is confirmed as being Hepatitis B Positive, doctors may advise several other tests, which will include a Liver Function Profile, Hepatitis B DNA Test(for confirmation) and other STD tests to rule out coinfection with Hepatitis C
It's also important to inform close contacts, as they may need to be screened or vaccinated.
This indicates that something in your blood has reacted with the test reagents. It does not immediately mean that you are Hepatitis B Positive. A reactive result has to be reconfirmed by a repeat test
