Preventative Hepatitis B Screening
Protecting Your Health, Protecting Your Future
Hep-B is a virus that affects the liver. Many people don’t realize they have it because symptoms can be mild or even absent for years. However, untreated Hep-B can lead to serious complications such as liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
Why Screening Matters
Early detection saves lives – If Hep-B is picked up early, effective treatments and monitoring can prevent long-term complications.
It’s simple and quick – A screening test is usually a routine blood test.
Peace of mind – Knowing your Hep-B status helps you take control of your health.
Protecting loved ones – If you are living with Hep-B, early detection allows you to reduce the risk of passing it on to others.
Who Should Get Tested?
Hep-B screening is recommended for:
People born in areas where Hep-B is more common (such as Asia, the Pacific Islands, Africa, and parts of Eastern Europe).
Anyone who has had unprotected sex, shared needles, or other possible exposure to blood.
People living with family members who have Hep-B.
Pregnant women (screening is routine during pregnancy to protect the baby).
Anyone unsure of their vaccination or infection history.
