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.

  • Yes. A safe and effective vaccine is available for hepatitis B. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but avoiding risky behaviours like sharing needles and practising safe sex can reduce the risk.

  • If you are at high risk, regular testing is recommended. Consult us for guidance based on your personal risk factors.

  • Yes, all test results are strictly confidential and shared only with you and our doctor/healthcare professional.

  • Yes, with proper medical care, a healthy lifestyle and appropriate treatment, people with hepatitis B or C can lead full and active lives.
