19 Conclusions Both MPXv1 & MPXv2 gave the same percentage of initially reactive pools (0.44% %). MPX v1: Almost all follow up donors of RR/not confirmed and RR/ confirmed/vtr negative donations were occult HBV, although 2 of the later group were acute infections. Majority of confirmed HBV reactive donors also had occult HBV. Occult MPX v2: Majority of RR/not confirmed HBV donations had occult HBV with very low viral load. Study shows that majority of HBV infections in Thai blood donors tested by NAT had occult HBV. Some of them can be extremely difficult to detect. Testing of NAT RR sample with multiple replicate as well as full HBV serology profile are important to confirm HBV low viral load.
