2 Medical Tests Done For Checking HBsAg, One Shows Positive And Another Negative. Which Should I Trust?
Hi, I want to ask something..
I have recently do 2 medical check up.. 1 for the company, and i didn't pass it because they said my HBsAg is abnormal without further explanation. So I do the next medical check up in other labs (about 3 weeks after that) and the result show my HBsAg is Non Reactive n my anti HBs is Non Reactive too..
Can anyone explain, which one should I trust? I'm so confused

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
First test was positive without any explanation.
2nd was negative ( nonspecific).
It is very difficult to say witch report is wrong.
In my opinion get in blood in same vial ( same sample) and get it test from two different labs at a time and interpretation will tell you every thing.
Good luck.
