Individual hepatitis tests from $17.90 and multi-test panels from $38.18 with the 20% promotion applied (pricing at time of writing).

At a glance

Hepatitis A and B testing measures the antibodies and antigens in your blood that show whether you are immune from vaccination or past infection, or whether markers associated with a current infection are present. It is designed for travelers, healthcare and food-service workers who need documented titers, and anyone who wants a private status check to review with their doctor. Tests can be ordered online without an office visit, with results often available in 24–48 hours.

Best suited for

  • Adults who need documented hepatitis A or B titers for a job, nursing or medical program, or volunteer role
  • People checking whether their hepatitis B vaccine series produced a measurable antibody response
  • Travelers preparing for regions where hepatitis A and B are more common
  • Anyone with a possible exposure who wants private screening results to review with a doctor
  • People with known hepatitis B status tracking markers like HBeAg and anti-HBe alongside their care team

The importance of testing

Hepatitis B can progress quietly for years, and immunity to hepatitis A or B, whether from vaccination or a past, resolved infection, cannot be confirmed without blood work. Serology panels measure the specific antibodies and antigens that tell these situations apart, giving you and your clinician a clear starting point.

Each marker answers a different question. HAV IgM flags a recent hepatitis A infection, while HAV total antibody reflects past infection or vaccine-derived immunity. For hepatitis B, the surface antigen (HBsAg) screens for current infection, the quantitative surface antibody (anti-HBs) measures your level of immunity, and the core antibody (anti-HBc) adds context about prior exposure.

Quantitative anti-HBs titers are also worth tracking over time. Healthcare, dental, and food-service employers, along with many nursing and medical programs, ask for documented titers, and a low or declining level is something to discuss with your doctor, who may recommend a booster dose.

If a screening result comes back reactive, confirmatory testing such as HBV DNA PCR is typically the recommended next step, and liver-focused add-ons like a liver panel or CMP (ALT, AST, bilirubin) can round out the picture. Bring any reactive or unexpected result to a licensed clinician to plan next steps.

Frequently asked questions

What does hepatitis A and B testing measure?

It measures virus-specific antibodies and antigens in a blood sample, such as HAV total antibody, HAV IgM, HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc, to show whether you have immunity, evidence of past exposure, or markers associated with a current infection. Different tests answer different questions, so panels combine them for a fuller picture you can review with your doctor.

Can I check my immunity after hepatitis B vaccination?

Yes, the quantitative hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) test measures your antibody level after vaccination or a past, resolved infection. This is the titer format most employers and school programs ask for, and your clinician can tell you whether your level meets the requirement you have been given.

Do I need a doctor's visit to order these tests?

No, the partner lab provides the physician order and requisition, so you can order online in minutes without an office visit. You choose your tests, visit one of about 2,100 draw locations, and receive private results, which you can then share with your own doctor.

Is this testing available in every US state?

No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. If you live elsewhere, you can typically order online and use any participating draw site.

How quickly do results come back?

Many hepatitis serology results are available in 24–48 hours after your blood draw. Confirmatory tests such as HBV DNA PCR or genotype testing can take longer, and turnaround may vary by location.

Do these tests confirm hepatitis on their own?

No, screening results indicate immunity, exposure, or markers associated with infection, and a reactive screen is typically followed by confirmatory testing such as quantitative PCR. Always review results with a licensed clinician, who can interpret them in the context of your history and symptoms.
