Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test – Detect an Active Hepatitis B Infection

What is the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test?

The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Blood Test is used to determine if you currently have an active Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This test detects HBsAg proteins on the surface of the Hepatitis B virus, indicating that the infection is present in the body.

A positive HBsAg test result means that a person is infected with Hepatitis B and may be contagious. This test is essential for:

✔ Detecting an active Hepatitis B infection
✔ Confirming whether someone is a Hepatitis B carrier
✔ Assessing risk for transmission and further medical evaluation

This test is often recommended for individuals with Hepatitis B symptoms, healthcare workers, people exposed to HBV, or those undergoing medical screenings for employment, immigration, or travel.

✔ Accurate testing for an active Hepatitis B infection
✔ No doctor’s referral required – book online in minutes
✔ Fast, confidential results from accredited laboratories

What This Test Measures

✔ Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) – This detects the presence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) proteins in the blood, confirming an active infection.

If HBsAg is detected, you may require additional tests, including:

• Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HBcAb) – To check for past or ongoing infection.
• Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb) – To confirm immunity from past infection or vaccination.

Who Should Take This Test?

📌 People with symptoms of Hepatitis B – If you are experiencing jaundice, fatigue, nausea, dark urine, or abdominal pain, testing is essential.
📌 Individuals who may have been exposed to Hepatitis B – This includes unprotected sex, needle sharing, or occupational exposure (healthcare workers).
📌 Pregnant women – Hepatitis B screening is recommended during pregnancy to prevent transmission to newborns.
📌 People undergoing medical procedures or donating blood – Some medical screenings require proof of a Hepatitis B negative status.
📌 Those needing Hepatitis B screening for work or travel – Some countries and workplaces require proof of Hepatitis B status before employment or immigration.

Why Testing for an Active Hepatitis B Infection is Important

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if left untreated. Testing for HBsAg is the first step in diagnosing Hepatitis B, allowing for early medical intervention and monitoring.

By taking this test, you can:

✔ Confirm whether you have an active Hepatitis B infection
✔ Protect others from potential transmission
✔ Determine the next steps for treatment or monitoring
✔ Meet work, travel, or immigration requirements

If you test positive, further testing may be required to determine whether the infection is acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term).
