Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV). It's primarily spread through contaminated food and water, or close contact with an infected person. Our comprehensive Hepatitis A panel includes both IgM antibodies (indicating recent/acute infection) and IgG antibodies (indicating past infection or vaccination immunity).

IgM antibodies indicate a current or recent acute infection (appears 2-4 weeks after exposure). IgG antibodies indicate either past infection or immunity from vaccination and persist lifelong.
Yes, Hepatitis A can be transmitted through sexual contact, particularly oral-anal contact. It's more common among men who have sex with men. Vaccination is highly recommended for at-risk groups.
Hepatitis A usually resolves on its own within 2-6 months. Recovery focuses on rest, adequate nutrition, and avoiding alcohol to allow the liver to heal.
