Hepatitis C Virus IgG Test at Home in Dubai
Included
About the Test
This test detects IgG-class antibodies against the hepatitis C virus, which typically persist long after exposure. A positive IgG result indicates that you have been exposed to hepatitis C at some point, but it cannot distinguish a current active infection from a past one that has cleared. It is used to identify prior exposure, and a positive result usually prompts a confirmatory PCR test.
What is it? A blood test measuring IgG-class antibodies to the hepatitis C virus, sometimes called the HCV IgG serology test.

Hepatitis C Virus IgG test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Hepatitis C Virus IgG test?
- Your doctor wants to check for prior hepatitis C exposure

How to prepare for the Hepatitis C Virus IgG test
No fasting is required for this test. A DHA-licensed nurse collects your blood at home, office or hotel in about 20 minutes.
Understanding your Hepatitis C Virus IgG results
A positive IgG result indicates past exposure to hepatitis C but does not confirm whether the infection is still active, so a PCR test is typically needed; a negative result suggests no exposure, and your doctor will guide any next steps.

No. IgG antibody testing does not require fasting, so you can eat normally and book any convenient home collection slot.
Not necessarily. IgG can stay positive for years, even after the virus has cleared. A hepatitis C PCR test is used to determine whether you have a current, active infection.
IgG usually reflects longer-standing or past exposure, while IgM may point toward a more recent response. Together they add context, but active infection is confirmed by PCR, not antibodies alone.
Because antibody positivity does not equal active infection, a PCR (RNA) test detects the virus directly. This confirms whether treatment is needed, so it is a standard follow-up to a positive antibody result.
Yes. Our DHA-licensed nurses visit homes, offices and hotels across Dubai, so you can test without leaving work.
