A blood test that detects an active hepatitis B infection and determines if you are contagious.
This blood test is used to detect an active hepatitis B virus infection. HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) is a viral surface protein that circulates in the blood when the infection is active. Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing injection equipment, contact with infected blood, or from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth. Symptoms may include fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, joint pain, and yellowing of the skin and eyes — but many people have no symptoms at all and can still be contagious. Testing is recommended after unprotected sex, suspected blood exposure, before pregnancy, and for individuals at increased risk. Early detection is crucial, as untreated hepatitis B can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
Hepatitis B can remain unnoticed for a long time — testing is the only reliable way to know.
