We study the semi-Hilbertian structure induced by a positive operator A on a Hilbert space \({\mathbb {H}}.\) Restricting our attention to \(A-\)bounded positive operators, we characterize the norm attainment set and also investigate the corresponding compactness property. We obtain a complete characterization of the \(A-\)Birkhoff–James orthogonality of \(A-\)bounded operators under an additional boundedness condition. This extends the finite-dimensional Bhatia-\( \breve{S} \)emrl Theorem verbatim to the infinite-dimensional setting.
