During the HBsAg Test
Opt for the home sample collection service when you book the HBsAg test with PharmEasy Labs. A phlebotomist will be assigned to you, who will collect the blood sample from your house. The process is streamlined and systematic - the vein finder device detects the suitable vein in the forearm to draw the blood from, the area is cleaned with ethanol, and blood is drawn using sterilised needles and gloves. The samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, and then sent to the lab for testing.

Test Result Interpretation
While the blood culture does examine HBsAg, the readings can only be comprehended when the complete Hepatitis B test panel has been taken into consideration.
Unlike many other tests, the HBsAg screening test does not contain values and ranges. Instead, it only indicates whether the individual is positive or negative on the parameters examined. The HBsAg test by ELISA or CLIA method gives a quantitative value of the HBsAg. The permutation of positives and negatives on the three readings leads to certain conclusions. However, since it is rather complex, the HBsAg test report is best studied by a doctor.
HBsAg Hepatitis B Surface Antigen | HBsAb Hepatitis B surface Antibody | HBcAb Hepatitis B Core Antibody | Interpretation |
- |
- |
- | Not infected; at risk for potential Hepatitis B infection |
- | + | - | Has not been infected; does not have the virus |
- |
+ |
+ | Has recovered from hepatitis B infection; is not a threat to infect others; shows the presence of surface antibodies from natural infection |
- |
- |

+ | Infected; potential threat for infecting others; needs more testing |
The normal values, parameters, and reference ranges of the test may vary from lab to lab. Please refer to the ranges mentioned in the report and consult a doctor to understand the interpretation of lab reports.
