Comprehensive blood test to screen for Hepatitis A, B, and C infections.
This test checks for all the common Hepatitis A, B and C current infections. This is not the screen for the medical professions. This is the usual screen for the IVF treatment prior to treatment commencing. For healthcare screen, for example for dental nurses, laboratory workers, cosmetic surgeons and so on you need the Hepatitis B screen. Turnaround time for this test is around 10 working days.

Biomarkers Tested
7Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody in the blood, important for fighting bacterial and viral infections.
Antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the core antigens of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Indicates both current and past infection.
Indicates immunity against HBV due to vaccination or previous infection.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a protein associated with allergic reactions that is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. IgE functions as part of the body's immune system (its defence against 'intruders').
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody in the blood, important for fighting bacterial and viral infections.
Detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and/or p24 antigen. Fourth-generation tests can detect infection as early as 2–4 weeks after exposure. Early detection enables treatment that can achieve viral suppression and prevent transmission.
Detects antibodies to hepatitis C virus, indicating current or past infection. A positive result requires confirmatory RNA testing. Hepatitis C is now curable with direct-acting antiviral medications in most patients.
