About Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) – Rapid Test
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) – Rapid Test is a blood antibody test to detect the Hepatitis B surface antigen (Hepatitis B surface protein), which is found on the exterior of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). A positive HBsAg result does not confirm the diagnosis of Hepatitis B Infection – repeat confirmatory laboratory testing is required and may indicate an active infection. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, tests are screened using quality-controlled laboratory processes and are fast and reliable.
