Hepatitis B Testing Options

Simple, fast and painless 

Hepatitis B is a virus causing inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis B infections can be acute or chronic; acute infection will self-resolve, while chronic infections can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), and cancer.

Testing for hepatitis B is quick and easy, requiring a simple blood sample.

Testing for hepatitis B is performed at one of our 4,000+ testing locations. This completely private STD testing option allows you to test today, taking only 15-20 minutes at the lab. 

Hepatitis B test results are available within 1-5 business days via private, online portal or phone. In conjunction with the American Social Health Association (ASHA), we have certified STD counselors available to help interpret STD test results and answer your most pressing questions. 

Acute hepatitis B will self-resolve; chronic hepatitis B requires antiviral treatment.

The window period for hepatitis B, the time between exposure and when the test can accurately detect the specific STD, is 3-6 weeks. 

Many people infected with hepatitis B do not experience noticeable symptoms. When present, symptoms of hepatitis B may mimic the flu including fatigue, mild fever, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.

Hepatitis B testing is recommended for anyone who may have been exposed to the virus and has not received vaccination. High risk groups for hepatitis B infection—including intravenous drug users, men who have sex with other men, anyone whose job deals with human blood, anyone living with a person who is positive with hepatitis B—is at higher risk and should consider undergoing testing.

The blood test for hepatitis B uses the Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBaAg) with reflex confirmation, requiring a simple blood sample to detect the presence and levels of the virus within the body. 

We value your privacy. Hepatitis B test results are not reported to insurance companies, we will not sell your data, our communications are always discreet, and we offer completely anonymous cash payment options for those seeking complete privacy.
