Answer:

The patient has/had the disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive finding means that antibodies were found in the patient’s blood. Antibodies are made when you have a disease in order to help fight off the disease. Therefore, if you have antibodies for a disease, you have or had that disease (Or were vaccinated). Hope it helps :)
