Overview
Hepatitis B is often called a silent epidemic because it may not show symptoms in the early stages. The HBsAg test is a key tool for diagnosing Hepatitis B and can help in starting treatment early.
The following symptoms can lead a doctor to suggest this test:
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes (Jaundice)
- Fatigue and joint pain
- Dark urine
- Abdominal pain
- Persistent nausea
The test is also recommended for people with multiple sexual partners or those who have travelled to areas where Hepatitis B is common.
While Hepatitis B is not typically curable, it can be managed effectively, especially if detected early through an HBsAg test. Chronic Hepatitis B can be controlled with antiviral medications, and in some cases, the virus can become inactive. Regular monitoring and treatment can help prevent serious complications like liver damage.

Test Necessity
Doctors recommend the HBsAg test to diagnose an active Hepatitis B infection. It helps identify whether the virus is present in your blood, which is crucial for early diagnosis of Hepatitis B. While Hepatitis B is not usually curable, early detection through this test can help manage and prevent the spread of the virus to others.
Test Preparation
Special preparation such as fasting is not required before taking the HBsAg test. You can eat and drink normally before the test, and it can be done at any time of the day. However, please let your doctor know if you are currently on any medications or health supplements.
During the HBsAg Test
The HBsAg test is performed by drawing a small sample of blood from your arm. Our highly skilled phlebotomist will ensure that the process is safe and quick. The HBsAg sample collection procedure will get done within 3-5 minutes. The blood is then sent to a laboratory, where it is tested for the Hepatitis B surface antigen to determine if the virus is present in your body.
