Hepatitis B & C FAQs
-
Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that affect the liver. They can cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and even liver cancer if left untreated.
-
Both viruses spread through contact with infected blood, unprotected sex, sharing needles and from mother to baby during childbirth. Hepatitis B can also be transmitted through saliva and other bodily fluids.
-
Many people experience no symptoms for years. When symptoms appear, they may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain, nausea and dark urine.
-
Testing helps detect infections early, allowing timely treatment and reducing the risk of serious liver damage. It also helps prevent the spread of the virus to others.
-
Testing is recommended for people with a history of unprotected sex, needle sharing, blood transfusions before the 1990s or family members with the virus. Healthcare workers and those from high-risk countries should also get tested.
-
A simple blood test is used to check for hepatitis B and C. It detects the presence of the virus or antibodies indicating past or current infection.
-
No, it’s a quick and straightforward blood test, with minimal discomfort similar to any routine blood draw.
-
If you choose our Express STI Screen, you can get your results the same day. Otherwise, your results are typically available within 3-5 days.
-
If you test positive, our doctor will discuss further testing and treatment options. Hepatitis B can be managed, and hepatitis C is often curable with antiviral medication.
-
