Overview. Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For some people, hepatitis B infection becomes chronic, meaning it lasts more than six months.
Screening for hepatitis B involves blood tests that measure HBV antigens and antibodies. The test for hepatitis B surface antigen detects the presence of HBV. A positive result means the person is currently infected and can pass the infection to others.
For asymptomatic individuals who are being screened for COVID-19 and have no known exposure to the virus, and the test results are either unknown or negative, assign code Z11. 59, Encounter for screening for other viral diseases.

HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen): when this is “positive” or “reactive,” it means the person is currently infected with hepatitis B and is able to pass the infection on to others.
Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth.
Types of Hepatitis BAcute hepatitis B: You have acute hepatitis B from the time you are first infected until six months afterward. Acute hepatitis B rarely causes liver damage.Chronic hepatitis B: Chronic hepatitis B happens when HBV is still in your blood six months after your initial exposure.
