Hepatitis B testing

Hepatitis B is a chronic and widely spread viral infection that affects the liver. It can also cause an acute infection. This virus can be transmitted when you come in contact with an infected person's bodily fluid or blood. Hepatitis B has been quite a concern around the world, but with the help of testing and vaccination, this viral infection can be prevented and properly managed.


When should I get tested for Hepatitis B?

Knowing when it is right to undergo a Hepatitis B test is very important to maintain your health. If you have been near anyone diagnosed with this virus, getting tested is advisable. Also, having sex with multiple partners without protection and the sharing of needles which is more common among people who use intravenous drugs. This heightens the risk of getting infected with Hepatitis B, hence the need to get tested.

Healthcare practitioners who are frequently exposed to blood samples are at a very high risk of getting infected and require frequent screenings. If you are pregnant or expecting a baby, getting tested is very necessary as the virus can be transferred at birth.

Why is it necessary for me to get tested for Hepatitis B?

Carrying out a Hepatitis B test helps in early detection and prevention of complex liver conditions such as liver cancer and cirrhosis. Testing also prevents you from spreading the Hepatitis B virus to other people unknowingly.
