    Anti HBs Positive or Reactive

    HBeAb Positive or Reactive
    You had Hepatitis B but cleared the part that makes the virus increase to very high amounts. Most patients clear the HBeAg or e antigen part of
    Hepatitis B in the first 6 months, but some do not clear the HBsAg or surface antigen.
    HBeAg Positive or Reactive

    inactive and whether we are immune to infection or susceptible to infection.
