(If you are testing with a partner, a member of an MMA or UFC organization, or another organization that requires repeat or bulk testing, we may be able to offer testing at a reduced cost.)
Clinical Use
Detect hepatitis B surface antigen, earliest indicator of acute hepatitis B infection, and also indicative of a chronic infection.
Hepatitis B Transmission
Traces of hepatitis B have been found in blood, sweat, tears, saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, menstrual blood, and breast milk. Although there has been some conflict regarding the transmission of hepatitis B, the most likely modes of transmission include exposure to infected blood, semen, and/or vaginal secretions.
Window Period
Surface antigen can be detectable as early as 2 weeks, waiting 4 to 6 weeks is encouraged, but detection can sometimes take longer.
