Hepatitis B
You can have hepatitis B and not know it. You may not have symptoms. If you do, they can make you feel like you have the flu. But as long as you have the virus, you can spread it to others.

Sometimes the virus does not go away. This is called chronic hepatitis B. Over time, it can damage your liver. Babies and young children infected with the virus are more likely to get chronic hepatitis B.

What Causes Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is spread through contact with the blood and body fluids of an infected person.

You can get Hepatitis B if you:

Have sex without using a condom.
Share needles to inject drugs.
Get a tattoo or piercing with tools that were not cleaned right.
Share personal items like razors or toothbrushes.

What Are The Symptoms?
Many people with hepatitis B do not know they have it, because they do not have symptoms. If you do have symptoms, you may just feel like you have the flu. Symptoms include:

Feeling very tired.
Mild fever.
Headache.
Not wanting to eat.
Feeling sick to your stomach or vomiting.
Belly pain.
Diarrhea or constipation.
Muscle aches and joint pain.
Skin rash.
Yellowish eyes and skin (jaundice). Jaundice usually appears only after other symptoms have started to go away.

Most people with Hepatitis B have no symptoms.

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. In time, it can lead to permanent liver damage as well as cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure.

Many people do not know that they have hepatitis C until they already have some liver damage. This can take many years. Some people who get hepatitis C have it for a short time and then get better. This is called acute hepatitis C. But most people who are infected with the virus go on to develop long-term, or chronic, hepatitis C.

What Causes Hepatitis C Infection?
Hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is spread from one person's infected blood to another person's blood.

What are the symptoms?
Many people have no symptoms when they are first infected with the hepatitis C virus. If you do develop symptoms, they are usually very similar to the symptoms for hepatitis B.

Our Hepatitis Testing Options

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Test
This is the most frequently and easily performed test for hepatitis B and is the first test to show abnormal results. HBsAg generally indicates active hepatitis B virus infection.

Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Test
This antibody appears approximately 4 weeks after the disappearance of the surface antigen and signifies the end of the acute infection phase. HBsAb also signifies immunity to subsequent infections.

Hepatitis B Core Antibody Test
This antibody appears approximately 1 month after infection with HBsAg and declines over several years. HBcAb is also present in people with chronic hepatitis.
