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.

What does Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Rapid Screening Test measure?
An Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Rapid Screening Test is a rapid screening test. An Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Rapid Screening Test test helps screen for the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in a suspected individual. HBsAg is the first serological marker to appear in the blood ( within 1 to 10 weeks) after recent exposure to HBV. Persistence of this marker for more than 6 months implies chronic (long-term) HBV infection which may lead to liver damage (scarring or cirrhosis). A person who has a chronic infection is capable of spreading the infection to healthy individuals, even if they do not show or experience any symptoms. The diagnosis of any reactive HBsAg result relies on additional supplemental tests like anti-HBs antibody and total anti-HBc antibodies. Confirmation can be done using nucleic acid tests like HBV DNA by PCR.
