Description

What is it?

A routine STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) screen with Hepatitis B typically involves blood tests to check for both infections.

Syphilis Blood Test (Optional): While not always included in a routine STI screen, some doctors may recommend a syphilis test alongside Hepatitis B depending on your risk factors and sexual practices. This would typically involve the two-step process mentioned previously:
- Non-treponemal test (e.g., RPR or VDRL)
- Treponemal test (e.g., FTA-ABS) if the non-treponemal test is positive.

Biomarkers:

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): This test detects the presence of the Hepatitis B virus on the surface of infected liver cells. A positive HBsAg indicates current or recent infection.
Chlamydia trachomatis: Usually tested with a urine sample
Neisseria gonorrhoeae: Usually tested with a urine sample
HIV1&2/p24Ag: A separate blood test specifically detects HIV

Turnaround time:

2-5 Working days
