A great experience for something I had a lot of anxiety about. Had no wait time or issues at the testing center/lab. Had blood drawn at 3pm and had results by email at 9am the next morning.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Hepatitis, a viral infection that inflames the liver, can be contracted by anyone, but certain groups are more at risk. According to the CDC, those who should consider getting tested include:

- Individuals who have engaged in unprotected sex with multiple partners

- People who have used or currently use injection drugs

- Those who have close contact with a person infected with hepatitis

- Healthcare or public safety workers who have been exposed to blood on the job

- Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as chronic liver disease and HIV

- People born between 1945 and 1965, as this group has a higher rate of hepatitis C infection

Importance of getting tested

Early detection of hepatitis is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of further spread. Hepatitis can be asymptomatic for years, leading to serious liver damage without the individual being aware. Regular testing is key to early detection, especially for those in high-risk groups. According to the CDC, early treatment can reduce the risk of liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
