Lola | Hepatitis B Core Ab Total (Active or Past infection) Blood Test | At Home Nurse Visit

This test detects total Hepatitis B core antibodies (Anti-HBc), which indicate either a current or past infection with the Hepatitis B virus. Unlike HBsAg, which reflects active infection, the presence of Anti-HBc shows that your immune system has responded to the virus at some point — whether recently or years ago. This test does not differentiate between acute and chronic infection on its own, but it's a valuable marker when interpreted alongside other Hepatitis B tests. It’s especially useful for identifying silent or resolved infections, screening blood donors, evaluating unexplained liver symptoms, or assessing immunity in those with unclear vaccination history or past exposure risk.Read our complete guide to Hepatitis B Core Ab Total (Active or Past infection) →
