- The envelope antigen is only present during phases of viremia, which occurs in acute or active chronic infections (think Envelope for 'Ective')
- As acute infection can be ruled out through the positive IgG antibody test (acute infection would show IgM antibodies), the only option left is active chronic hepatitis B infection
