Hepatitis B Testing
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an STD that causes liver disease. The CDC estimates each year in the U.S. 3,000 people in the U.S. die from hepatitis B complications and 1.4 million people have chronic hepatitis B (lasts more than 6 months). Hepatitis B is very contagious and is most often sexually transmitted or spread through making contact with blood that carries the virus.
Who’s At Increased Risk For Hepatitis B?
- If you have unprotected sex with multiple partners
- If you have sex with someone who already has the HBV virus, or if you live with someone who had carried the virus for over 6 months
- If you’re a man who has sex with other men (MSM)
- If you share IV needles
- Are regularly exposed to human blood
- Travel to Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe or the Pacific Islands (these places have higher rates of Hep B)
- All Pregnant Women: Test for HBsAg at the first prenatal visit of each pregnancy regardless of prior testing; retest at delivery if at high risk
- Persons with HIV: Test for HBsAg and anti-HBc and/or anti-HBs
Test Smartly Labs can help if you need to test for hepatitis B or any other STD.
Information On This Topic
Understanding STI vs STD
STI stands for “Sexually Transmitted Infection” and STD stands for “Sexually Transmitted Disease”. These two terms sound similar and the difference between them can be confusing. One of the reasons for this is that up to a certain point these two terms were synonymous and were used interchangeably. But now there is a technical difference between these terms which has been acknowledged by the medical community and can no longer be used synonymously.
Privacy Matters for STI/STD Testing at Test Smartly Labs
While all health-related matters deserve the utmost privacy and confidentiality, some types of blood tests and lab work need even more. When it comes to STI or STD testing, you do not want to have any small chance of anyone you know finding out about your risks or diagnoses. Of course, if you go to your doctor’s office or even a public clinic, the HIPAA rules require everyone involved to keep your information private and secure. However, you may still have some doubts troubling your mind.

Do You Need A List Of My Medications For A Drug Test?

The MRO will then call your physician to verify your medications.
