This test, by itself, is not useful during the "window period" of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (i.e., after hepatitis B surface antigen disappears and before the appearance of hepatitis B surface antibody). Testing for acute HBV infection should also include hepatitis B core IgM antibody (IgM anti-HBc).
