What is the Hepatitis B e (Envelop) Antigen (HBeAg) Test?

This test is used to see if you have active Hepatitis B. It looks at how much HepB envelop antigen is on the virus. It is a way to find out if you have an infection at the earliest possible time. A positive HepB envelop antigen test means that more tests need to be done to determine how bad the infection is in the body. Hepatitis B virus mostly spreads through bodily fluids or unprotected sex.
