Hepatitis B Testing in London

Hepatitis B is a common viral infection that affects the liver and can cause both acute and chronic illness. It is primarily spread through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. Without diagnosis and appropriate management, Hepatitis B can lead to serious liver complications—but the good news is that it is preventable and manageable through testing, vaccination, and medical care.

At STI Clinic UK, we offer private and comprehensive Hepatitis B testing in a safe, confidential setting.

When Should I Get Tested for Hepatitis B?

Knowing when to get tested is essential to protect your health and prevent the spread of the virus. You should consider a Hepatitis B test if:

  • You’ve been in close contact with someone diagnosed with Hepatitis B
  • You’ve had unprotected sex with multiple partners
  • You share needles or drug-injecting equipment
  • You are a healthcare worker regularly exposed to blood or body fluids
  • You are pregnant, as Hepatitis B can be passed to your baby at birth

Regular screening is especially important if you're in a high-risk group. Early detection enables timely treatment and reduces the risk of long-term liver damage.

Why Should I Get Tested for Hepatitis B?

Getting tested for Hepatitis B is crucial for early detection and prevention of serious liver complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Early diagnosis allows for effective monitoring and treatment, reducing the risk of long-term damage.

Testing also plays a vital role in protecting others. Many people with Hepatitis B may not experience symptoms but can still transmit the virus to others. By knowing your status, you can take steps to prevent unknowingly passing the infection to partners, family members, or others around you.

Step-by-step procedure

Getting ready for the test

It is important to avoid eating 6 hours prior to your Hepatitis B test – fasting is very necessary if you want to get a very accurate result. Make sure you inform our healthcare practitioner of any medications or dietary supplements you might be taking that might affect the results of your Hepatitis B test.

During the test:

Based on your chosen test, our healthcare practitioner will draw a blood sample from your arm. 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 made available within a few days. Patient confidentiality is guaranteed. After your test, we provide counselling and advice if further testing is needed or what treatment plan needs to be followed. Regardless of the outcome, our medical practitioners are committed to guiding you and providing the required support through the test and afterwards.

Symptoms of Hepatitis B

Unlike Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B often presents no symptoms in many people, especially during the early stages. However, even without symptoms, an infected person can still pass the virus on to others. For those who do experience symptoms, they may notice feelings of nausea, a loss of appetite, discomfort or pain in the abdomen, persistent fatigue, and signs of jaundice, such as yellowing of the skin and eyes. These symptoms typically appear one to four months after exposure and are sometimes mistaken for a mild viral illness or flu. Because symptoms may be absent or subtle, testing is essential if you've been at risk of exposure.

How is Hepatitis B Transmitted?

Hepatitis B is transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of someone who is infected. This can happen through unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing needles or injecting equipment, or from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. It can also be transmitted by sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes that may have traces of infected blood. However, it’s important to note that Hepatitis B is not spread through casual contact such as hugging, coughing, or sharing meals.
