Hepatitis B Test
LetsBeSafe's FDA-approved Hepatitis B virus (HBV) test screens for the presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), which is the earliest indicator of acute or chronic Hepatitis B infection. This highly sensitive (88%) and specific (99-100%) blood test allows for early diagnosis and prevention of liver health complications. If the initial HBV test is positive, a confirmatory test is provided at no extra cost to ensure the most accurate results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver. It can cause acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) liver disease.
How is Hepatitis B spread?
Hepatitis B is spread through contact with the blood, semen, or other bodily fluids of an infected person. Common ways it is transmitted include unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth.
What are the symptoms of Hepatitis B?
Many people with Hepatitis B don't have any symptoms, especially in the early stages. Possible symptoms include fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
How is Hepatitis B tested?
Hepatitis B is typically diagnosed through a blood test that looks for the presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This indicates an active Hepatitis B infection.
When should I get tested for Hepatitis B?
The CDC recommends Hepatitis B testing for all pregnant women, people at high risk of exposure, and anyone born in regions with high Hepatitis B prevalence.
If I test positive, what are the next steps?
If your initial Hepatitis B test is positive, LetsBeSafe will automatically provide a confirmatory test at no additional cost. Your healthcare provider can then discuss treatment options and recommendations for your care.
Is there treatment for Hepatitis B?
Yes, there are medications that can help manage chronic Hepatitis B and reduce the risk of liver damage. If your confirmatory Hepatitis B test is positive, you can speak with one of our physicians to discuss treatment options that are best for your case.
