Private Testing for Hepatitis A in London

Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by a virus and is highly contagious. It is commonly transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water and can have a serious effect on your health. A vital step to preventing Hepatitis A is understanding how it can be transferred. Visit us today for Hepatitis A testing.

When should I get tested for Hepatitis A?

Understanding when to get tested is very important, especially if you have travelled recently to an area with high Hepatitis A occurrence or come in contact with an infected individual.

Common symptoms include jaundice, which in most cases indicates a problem with the liver and the need to get tested. If you have a new sexual partner, then you and your partners should get tested to ensure both of you are safe and healthy. We provide a discreet and comprehensive Hepatitis A test at STI Clinic UK.

Why should I get tested for Hepatitis A?

Detecting Hepatitis A during the early stage helps prevent the spread of the virus and improve your health outcome. Testing is important, especially for those at higher risk, as it reduces liver damage, helps you make lifestyle changes and allows for early treatment.

Step-by-step procedure

Getting prepared for the test

Hepatitis A testing needs no special preparation. Nonetheless, ensure you are properly hydrated prior to the test. Come along with a means of identification and any important information about your health history.

During the test:

Based on your chosen test, our healthcare practitioner will draw a blood sample. With the help of our expertly trained medical personnel, you can be sure that this will be done quickly and with zero to little discomfort under sterile conditions.

Getting your result:

Your result will be ready within a couple of days. Patient confidentiality is guaranteed. Regardless of the outcome, our medical practitioners will guide you and provide the needed support, counselling or medical advice.

Symptoms

Commonly associated symptoms with Hepatitis A include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain and jaundice. They can develop rapidly, making early testing very vital.

How does the virus spread?

It is commonly spread through oral-faecal route or by ingesting contaminated food or water. Personal hygiene and practising food safety can help in preventing Hepatitis A.

FAQs

The Hepatitis A test screens the body for antibodies produced by the body in response to the virus. These antibodies can denote an active or past infection.

Hepatitis A tests are mostly accurate and checks for antibodies even before you find symptoms. However, you should discuss this with your healthcare practitioner as several factors may affect the result’s accuracy.

Skipping a meal or fasting won’t have an effect on your test. Kindly ensure you are properly hydrated to have a seamless blood draw.

If you have a positive Hepatitis A blood test, follow the instructions of your healthcare provider, including proper nutrition, avoiding alcohol, and resting. Taking vaccinations and proper hygiene can help curb the spread of Hepatitis (A, B and C), which are more serious and caused by other viruses.
