Question about Hep B titer?

we cannot give medical advice as per the terms of service. you need to contact yoiur primary care provider/employee health and ask what these results mean and what you may or may not need. there are many healthcare professionals that are "non-converters" and some need to be re-vaccinated.

checking with your pcp and your school is what you need.

asking for test results to be translated into 'non medical people speak' is the same as asking for medical advice? Not providing medical advice=no talking about lab values?

OP, taking that info to your program manager (or whoever handles enrollments) should be able to answer that for you while the Dr office is closed.

If you're asking the question for a personal reason, rather than a professional one, then yes, it's considered medical advice.

I wasn't really asking for medical advice. I just wanted to know if the Hepatitis Panel was the same as a Hepatitis Titer. I did take it to the director of the program and the Hepatitis Panel was the wrong thing. Thanks!
