Explained

What is a Hepatitis B Immunity Test?

A Hepatitis B immunity test is a blood test that checks whether you are protected against the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) — either because you were vaccinated in the past, or because your body has cleared a previous infection.

The key marker is Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B surface antibody). A sufficient level means you're immune. We can also run a full Hepatitis B profile, which adds HBsAg and Anti-HBc to distinguish between someone who is immune, currently infected, or has never been exposed at all.

This test is especially useful if you're unsure whether you completed your vaccine series, if it's been years since vaccination, or if your job or school requires proof of immunity.

Why Get Tested?
  • Confirms whether you're protected after vaccination
  • Detects an unknown or past Hepatitis B infection
  • Avoids unnecessary revaccination if you're already immune
  • Often required for healthcare, school, or employment clearance
  • Gives peace of mind and guides your next steps

4
Result Interpretation

A member of our healthcare team explains what your results mean in plain language.

Get Ready

Preparing for Your Hepatitis B Immunity Test

What to know before you come

Before your appointment:

  • No fasting is required for this test
  • Bring your vaccination record if you have one — it helps us interpret results
  • Tell us if you're pregnant or currently unwell
  • Wear clothing with easy access to your arm for the blood draw

We may recommend the full profile (not just Anti-HBs) if:

  • You've never been tested or vaccinated before
  • You've had possible exposure to Hepatitis B
  • You're in a high-risk group or need employment/school clearance

Getting your results: Most results are ready within 24–48 hours. We'll go through them with you and advise on any next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hepatitis B Immunity Test FAQs

Common questions about Hepatitis B immunity testing answered.

What does the Hepatitis B immunity test check for?
It checks your Anti-HBs (surface antibody) level, which shows whether you're protected against Hepatitis B. A full profile also checks HBsAg and Anti-HBc to tell whether you're immune, currently infected, or have never been exposed.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No fasting is required for a Hepatitis B immunity or profile test. You can eat and drink normally beforehand.
How long do results take?
Most Hepatitis B immunity results are ready within 24–48 hours. We'll contact you and go through what your results mean.
What if the test shows I'm not immune?
If your Anti-HBs level is low or you show no immunity, we'll recommend starting or completing the Hepatitis B vaccine series. We offer this on-site.
What if the test shows I have Hepatitis B?
If HBsAg is positive, our healthcare team will explain what this means, discuss further evaluation, and refer you for specialist liver care as needed. Results are handled confidentially.
Is this test required for NYSC, school, or work?
Many employers, schools, and NYSC medical clearance processes require proof of Hepatitis B status. We can issue a report suitable for this purpose.
I was vaccinated years ago — do I still need this test?
If it's been many years since your vaccine series, or you're unsure it was completed, testing is the most reliable way to confirm you're still protected rather than guessing or re-vaccinating unnecessarily.
I'm pregnant. Can I get tested?
Yes. Hepatitis B testing is a routine and safe part of antenatal screening. Inform our healthcare provider about your pregnancy when you book.
