HIV antibody testing is used to screen for and diagnose HIV infections. Since there is no cure, early treatment of HIV infection and immune system monitoring can greatly improve long-term health and survival. Also, if a person knows his HIV status, it may help change behaviors that can put him and others at risk. Verify a positive with a second HIV antibody test that differentiates between HIV-1 and HIV-2. 2  If results between the first and second test do not agree, then the next test to perform is a HIV-1 RNA test (nucleic acid amplification test, NAAT).
A negative test for hepatitis B antigen only means that you are NOT a chronic carrier and DONT have acute hepatitis. It tells you nothing about your prior vaccination. If you want to know if you are immune (by vaccination or by prior infection), then you need to knwo what your hepatits B ANTIBODY status is.I'm sure your doctor did this test at the same time as the antigen test. If your hepatitis B antibody is also negative, youre not immune and need vaccination.If the antibody is positive, you are immune and dont need a vaccination.f you want to see if someone has been vaccinated you have to check hepatitis B SURFACE ANTIBODY, not the antigen. A positive antibody test means either you have had hepatitis B in the past and got over it. OR you have been vaccinated.
