About the Test
This test measures hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), the protective antibody your immune system makes after a hepatitis B vaccination or after clearing a past infection. Unlike the surface antigen test, which looks for the virus itself, this one answers a different question: are you immune? It is the standard check for confirming that a vaccine course has worked, for healthcare and childcare staff who must document immunity, and for anyone deciding whether a booster dose is needed.
What is it? A blood test measuring hepatitis B surface antibody, abbreviated anti-HBs or HBsAb, used to confirm immunity rather than infection.

Understanding your Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (Anti-HBs) results
A protective antibody level indicates immunity to hepatitis B, whether from vaccination or a resolved past infection. A low or absent level suggests you are not protected and may need a booster or a repeat vaccine course; a doctor will interpret your number alongside your vaccination history and advise on next steps.

The surface antigen (HBsAg) test looks for the virus and answers whether you are infected. This antibody test looks for your immune response and answers whether you are protected. They are separate tests and are often ordered together.
Testing is usually done one to two months after the final dose. Testing too early can give a misleading reading, so check the timing with a doctor if you are unsure.
No. Anti-HBs testing does not require fasting, so you can eat normally and book any convenient home collection slot.
A low level suggests waning or insufficient protection. Your doctor will typically recommend a booster dose, then a repeat antibody test to confirm the response.
