Hepatitis tests are recommended when a person has acute Hepatitis B infection. The hepatitis virus going from Hbeag to HbeAb is actually a favorable thing for the recovery process.

HbeAb testing involves extracting typically 1-2ml of blood. The blood after extraction is placed into a tube for finding out whether the person will test positive or negative. A positive HbeAb indicates a less active infection but still you have chances of infecting others with the virus are very minute or next to zero. When the test result is negative, it is said that no antibody or antigen or genetic material related to Hepatitis B is present in your blood. However regular monitoring of blood should be done with a liver specialist to reduce chances of developing HBE negative mutations.

Tests for detecting Hepatitis B are often ordered in a combination by the doctor only because results of 2 tests are interdependent on each other.
