What does HBsAg reactive but HbsAb is negative means?

How do HIV-positive and HIV-negative differ?

HIV-positive means you are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV-negative means that you are not infected with the HIV.

What does a non reactive hep b surface antibody mean?

HBsAg non-reactive does NOT mean immune to hepatitis B. To understand this we have to discuss what exactly HBsAg is. The hepatitis B virus has several components. It is an encapsulated virus, meaning that its central DNA core is protected by an outer shell. This shell is sometimes called the "surface". On this surface are some antigens, which are simply proteins that induce an immune response in the body. We abbreviate these antigens as HBsAg, which is shorthand for "hepatitis B surface antigen". If a blood test reveals that there are no detectable hepatitis B surface antigens, this simply means that the individual has no evidence of being currently infected with hepatitis B. Otherwise, there would be some hepatitis B surface antigens (with hepatitis B DNA inside them) floating around in the bloodstream. To determine if a person is immune to hepatitis B, we must draw a different test. This test checks for the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigens. Sometimes this is abbreviated as HBAb, or as Hepatitis B IgG. If the patient has antibodies to Hepatitis B surface antigens, and has no detectable HBsAg in their bloodstream, then it is likely that they are immune. But be careful! Simply having Hepatitis B surface antibodies does not indicate immunity! It may mean that the person is actually infected with Hep B. This is why both tests are necessary to document immunity.
