What Is The Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Test For?

A "positive" or "reactive" anti-HBs test indicates the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B virus. These antibodies provide protection - immunity - from further infection from the virus

Hepatitis B surface antibodies (Anti-HBs) are present in the blood after recovering from a previous infection, or from having received a hepatitis B vaccination.

How To Test Hepatitis B Surface Antibody

By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure Hepatitis B Surface Antibody for total reassurance.

Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.

The Vitall Hepatitis B & C nurse or clinic test kit includes a Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test and is available for just £99.00.

What if Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Results Are High?

A positive Anti-HBs result does not indicate an active infection.

Instead, a positive result indicates that the body has antibodies to the hepatitis B virus and is immune to reinfection.

This pattern is consistent with not being infected and not being infectious, meaning hepatitis B is not spread to others.

What if Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Results Are Low?

Evidence of Hepatitis B immunity was not detected. Hepatitis B immunity can develop in people who have had a Hepatitis B infection, or in those who have been vaccinated.

Who Should Take This Test?

Measure your Hepatitis B Surface Antibody levels and screen your blood to determine if you are infected with hepatitis b or c with a Hepatitis B & C nurse or clinic finger-prick bloodtest kit

You get the convenient testing with the reassurance of professional clinical analysis. Your results are delivered quickly & securely online.

This Hepatitis B & C Test is advised if you:

  • want the convenience of home testing without waiting for a GP appointment;
  • need a high quality, clinically accredited test done in a professional clinical laboratory.

Can I use the test if I'm currently experiencing symptoms?

The Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test is not for diagnosing active Hepatitis B infection. If you're currently experiencing symptoms of Hepatitis B, you should immediately seek medical advice and take a HPV test in the UK.

How long does it take to receive my results?

Once your blood sample is received by the lab, your results will usually be available within 24 hours. You'll receive notification of your results and can access them through your secure online account.

How do I use the Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test kit?

The kit includes all the necessary components to collect a blood sample from your fingertip. Follow the provided instructions carefully for accurate results. Once you've taken your sample, seal it in the provided secure packaging and return it to a UKAS accredited lab for blood testing in the UK via the prepaid envelope.

How does the Anti-HBs test work?

The Anti-HBs test involves taking a blood sample, usually through a finger-prick test. The sample is then sent to a lab for analysis to detect the presence or absence of Hepatitis B surface antibodies.

What are potential symptoms of Hepatitis B?

Hepatitis B initially presents subtle symptoms similar to the flu, such as fatigue, loss of appetite or mild fever. As the disease progresses, symptoms might include jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain and joint pain. However, many people are asymptomatic.

What do positive Hepatitis B Surface Antibody results mean?

A positive result means that Hepatitis B surface antibodies are present in your blood, indicating that you are immune to Hepatitis B. Immunity can be gained through vaccination, or from successfully fighting off a past infection.

What if my test results are negative?

A negative result signifies that no Hepatitis B surface antibodies were detected in your blood. You may still be vulnerable to Hepatitis B if you're not vaccinated or haven't been previously infected. It's advised to consult your healthcare provider for appropriate measures.

What conditions can the Anti-HBs test help detect?

The Anti-HBs test can help identify whether an individual has developed immunity against Hepatitis B, either through vaccination or recovery from a previous infection. It isn't a method to diagnose acute or chronic Hepatitis B, but rather immunity against potential future infection.

What is the Hepatitis B Surface Antibody test?

The Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (Anti-HBs) test is a diagnostic tool used to identify antibodies produced as an immune response to the Hepatitis B virus. These antibodies may be present due to past exposure or vaccination. This test is typically used to confirm immunity against the virus.
