Artificial active immunity. Artificial because it is due to vaccination. Active because the body is stimulated by the vaccine to produce antibodies against Hepatitis B virus antigen.

What is the difference between hepatitis B surface and hepatitis b antigen?
When your body is introduced to the Hepatitis B virus, the virus is considered the antigen (the surface antigen)and this should trigger your immune system to develop antibody against this antigen to destroy it. Most people do develop Hep B surface antibody when infected with the Hep B virus. Some people do not develop the antibodyand go on to have only circulating Hep B surface antigen - which means they are a carrier and can continue to have the virus and infection. For the majority of the population that develop the Hep B surface antibody, this conveys immunity to the virus for life.
What characteristics does a normal hepatitis virus test have?
Reference ranges for the antigen/antibody tests are as follows: hepatitis A antibody, IgM: Negative, hepatitis B core antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e antibody: Negative, hepatitis B e-antigen: Negative.

What does Borderline Hep B Surface AB QL mean?
Hepatitis b surface ab(antibody) ql (qualitative) reactive is the prior exposure of hepatitis b. This exposure could be a natural exposure or that of a vaccine.
What does a positive HBS antibody titer mean?
A positive HBs antibody titer indicates that an individual has developed antibodies against the hepatitis B virus, typically as a result of vaccination or past infection. This suggests that the person has immunity to hepatitis B and is less likely to contract the virus. It is an important marker for assessing immunity status in individuals, especially those at risk for hepatitis B exposure.
