Overview
Hepatitis antigens are elements in the hepatitis virus that prompt your immune system to combat the virus. The HBsAg test is a simple blood test that detects the presence of the antigens. It can be done at any time of the day. Your doctor may recommend the HBsAg blood test if you exhibit symptoms or have recently visited areas where Hepatitis is prevalent.
People with risk factors such as HIV-positive individuals, regular injection drug users, donors of blood, organs, tissues, plasma, and semen, and individuals on immunosuppressant therapy are also advised to undergo the HBsAg test. Risk factors for hepatitis may also include the exchange of body fluids, such as blood and semen.
