Hepatitis B Testing, lab results from home

Symptoms

Hepatitis B can cause serious liver infections that affect millions of people worldwide. Many people with hepatitis B have no symptoms until the later stages but symptoms, should they occur, may include:

• Bleeding easily

• Bruising easily

• Fatigue

• Poor appetite

• Yellow discolouration of the skin and eyes (jaundice)

• Dark-coloured urine

• Itchy skin

• Fluid buildup in the abdomen (ascites)

• Swelling in the legs

• Weight loss

• Confusion, drowsiness and slurred speech (hepatic encephalopathy)

• Spider-like blood vessels on the skin (spider angiomas)

You should wait a minimum of 30 days from the time of sexual intercourse before collecting your sample. Hepatitis infections take a period of time to become detectable, and you should wait to ensure an accurate result.

You should get tested if:

• You have become sexually active

• You have had unprotected sex

• You are experiencing symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection

• You are entering into a new sexual relationship

• You have received a notification from a previous partner that they are infected (STIs can remain dormant for years or take up to three weeks to become detectable.)
