Overview

Hepatitis B serology measures several markers that together reveal your relationship with this virus: whether you have been exposed, whether you are currently infected, and whether you are immune.

The key markers include HBsAg (surface antigen, indicating active infection), Anti-HBs (surface antibody, indicating immunity), and Anti-HBc (core antibody, indicating past or current infection). The combination of these results determines your status.

Symptoms

Suited to healthcare workers needing occupational screening, people checking vaccination immunity, those with potential exposure through sexual contact or travel, or anyone wanting to know their Hepatitis B status.

Questions

  • HBsAg indicates active infection. Anti-HBs shows immunity. Anti-HBc reveals past or current infection. The pattern together determines your status.
  • Immunity typically lasts at least 20 to 30 years and possibly lifelong in most people.
  • Acute Hepatitis B often resolves on its own. Chronic Hepatitis B cannot be cured, but antiviral treatments can suppress the virus.
  • Test immediately for a baseline, then at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after exposure.
  • Acute infection lasts less than 6 months and often resolves. Chronic infection persists beyond 6 months.
  • People with current or past infection generally cannot donate blood. Those immune from vaccination only can typically donate normally.

How to prepare

No fasting required. Let the pathology staff know about any recent vaccinations, current medications and any symptoms.

After the test

Your healthcare provider can advise on next steps based on your marker pattern. If susceptible, Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended. If immune, no further action is needed. If active infection is indicated, your provider can discuss monitoring, treatment options and precautions.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show a pattern of markers that determine your status. All negative means susceptible. Anti-HBs positive only means immune from vaccination. Anti-HBc and Anti-HBs positive means immune from past infection. HBsAg positive indicates active infection.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most collection centres accept walk-ins. Some may require a booking - check details when you click on your chosen location.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.

They’re the highly trained professionals who take your blood sample - with a steady hand and a sharp needle. They love blood, but don’t worry… they’re not vampires. Just legends who make blood tests quick, clean, and (almost) painless.

Some of our tests include Urine, Stool, Saliva and more. Each test will have a clear description on what sample you will need to give and instructions on how.
