A Hepatitis B Test is a simple blood test that checks for signs of hepatitis B virus, which can affect the liver. It is also called a Hep B test or an HBV test. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and choose a time that works for you.
This test is also called a Hepatitis B panel or HBsAg and antibody testing. It looks for parts of the virus and the antibodies your body makes. Results can show if you have a current infection, had a past infection, or have protection from the vaccine.
Common reasons: routine screening, pregnancy care, starting a new partner, work or school requirements, or if a family member has hepatitis B. Liver check: high liver enzymes or symptoms like yellow skin or eyes. Follow up: after a needle injury or possible exposure. Ask your doctor if this test fits your situation.
You will check in with your ID. A technician will clean a spot on your arm and draw a small tube of blood. You may feel a quick pinch, then a bandage is placed. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes at the site.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. High dose biotin can affect some lab tests, so follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab.
No fasting: you can usually eat and drink as normal. Bring records: vaccine dates and any past hepatitis results help the team read new results. Medications: bring a list and follow any directions from your doctor or the center. Stay hydrated: drinking water can make the draw easier. Recent vaccine: tell the staff if you were vaccinated for hepatitis B recently. Always follow the instructions from your provider or the testing center.
This test can help check for a new hepatitis B infection, a long term infection, immunity after vaccination, past resolved infection, causes of liver inflammation, and health needs during pregnancy. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your results along with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.
