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.
