Hi, One year back I had a negative but bbf hbsag and now I have got a positive hbsag with a reading of 1.91 and a positive dsdna and pcna ana profile. How is this possible because I have not gone through anything that causes positive hbsag but one year back I had been taken to operation theatre wherein I was treated and my false vocal cords were removed through laser. So I would like to know the meaning of dsdna and pcna being positive and how do I know the reason for a positive hbsag.
