Hi guys, so long story short. I donated blood about 3 weeks ago in july and today at work this lady reaches out to me and is like some markers for HBV tested positive. I call American red cross and they send me the letter which includes tests and surface antigen, core antibody, confirmatory surface antigen and HBV discriminatory NAT all came positive. It hit me like a truck but in a way i'm grateful figuring it now. I just find it crazy because I am fully vaccinated too, maybe born with it but jus needed to get that out so thanks
