Positive for ej & oj antibody

Hello. I went to the rheumatologist for the first time recently and my blood work came back positive for ej & oj antibody. I can't find any information about it really and it's a long wait until my next appointment. Did anybody else test positive for EJ & OJ antibodies? Does anybody know what this means or any info about it? Any false positives? Can they diagnose with these blood results or do they need multiple tests to confirm?
