The test has 98% accuracy but is not confirmatory. False positives and negatives can occur, so DNA testing may be needed to confirm positive results.
HbsAg becomes detectable around 38-40 days after exposure. A repeat test after 3 months is recommended for confirmation as the virus may clear after 6-8 months.
