About the Test
This test detects the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), a protein on the outer coat of the hepatitis B virus and the primary marker used to screen for infection. A positive result indicates that the virus is present, whether in a recent or long-standing infection. It is widely used for routine screening, pre-employment and pre-procedure checks, and for anyone with symptoms of hepatitis or a possible exposure.
What is it? A blood test detecting the hepatitis B surface antigen, abbreviated HBsAg and sometimes called the Australia antigen or Hep B test.
