What does the Hep B test detect?

The hepatitis antibodies test is used to detect previous exposure to the HBV virus. This test is typically used to determine the need for a hepatitis vaccination or to see whether someone has recovered from a hepatitis infection and is now immune to HBV. The test is done using a blood sample.

The benefits of getting tested

Emergency treatment given within the first few days of exposure can actually stop the process of infection. If the disease has progressed for a longer time, treatment can be given for individual symptoms, or in longer-term cases can reduce the risk of liver problems or damage.

About Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It can become chronic, leading to liver failure, cancer, or cirrhosis. The virus is transmitted through blood, semen, or other body fluids, often through sexual contact or sharing needles. Mothers can also pass HBV to their babies at birth. The Hepatitis B test is crucial for detecting the presence of HBV. It involves blood testing for HBV surface antigens and antibodies. Early detection is vital for managing the infection effectively. Vaccination is available and recommended, especially for healthcare workers, people with multiple sexual partners, and those with chronic liver disease.

If I have contracted Hepatitis B, how quickly will symptoms appear?
Symptoms can begin to appear anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months after initial exposure. On average, symptoms will start to show at around 3 months.
No. As long as you have cleared the infection, the body develops antibodies against the virus that protect you for life.
The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Once you contract it, the Hepatitis C virus can cause damage to your liver without you experiencing any symptoms, so if you are unsure, it is important that you come in for a test.
