Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and is transmitted mainly through body fluids or unsafe sexual intercourse. It can also happen due to infected blood transfusion; by sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or during pregnancy or delivery.
An Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Rapid Screening Test test checks for the presence of hepatitis B antigens in your blood that appear at 6 to 16 weeks following exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV). In addition to HBV screening, this test also confirms any previous HBV infection and helps monitor the ongoing treatment for hepatitis B. In most cases, HBV clears up on its own in 1 to 2 months after the onset of symptoms. But in some people, the virus does not go away and results in chronic infection, which over the years may lead to liver damage (scarring or cirrhosis).
