Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
HIV1,2/ VDRL are the tests for STDs.. which are -ve in your wife's sample. both the tests are nonreactive.. & you need not worry. it's normal.There is no risk in pregnancy.
HBS Ag is the test for Hepatitis B.. which usually accompanies sexually transmitted diseases. Hepatitis is B is transmitted through blood.. & there is possibility of baby getting infected from maternal infection in pregnancy/ as well as the medical staff conducting delivery are at risk of getting the infection, if the patient is + ve for HBS.AG .
But it's also negative in your wife's blood. SO don't worry, every thing is alright.
thanks.
