Hepatitis A is a contagious virus which causes a liver infection. It is usually transmitted from ingesting contaminated water or food and can significantly affect your health. Understanding Hepatitis A and how you can get it is the first step to prevention. We offer testing services for this virus.
Knowing when to test for Hepatitis A is important if you recently travelled to a region known for high Hepatitis A incidence or if you had direct contact with someone diagnosed with the virus for your peace of mind or to start treatment.
Symptoms include jaundice, indicative of a liver problem and may also indicate the need for testing. If you are entering a new sexual relationship, testing is a responsible step to ensure your health and the health of your partner. Sexual Health Clinic London provides comprehensive and discreet testing facilities.
Early Hepatitis A detection can prevent the spread of the virus and result in better health outcomes. Testing is essential, especially for people at higher risk, as it allows early treatment, reduces liver damage and manageable lifestyle changes.
Common symptoms of Hepatitis A include nausea, jaundice, abdominal pain, and fatigue. These symptoms can develop quickly, which makes early testing important.
Hepatitis A spreads mainly through the faecal-oral route or by consuming contaminated water or food. Safe food practices and personal hygiene helps prevent Hepatitis A.
The only difference between the Platinum Screen and Gold packages is an additional human papillomavirus (HPV) swab test which includes 16, 18 and high-risk strains in the Platinum Screen but they are basically the same. Please speak to our team for further advice which is best for your situation.

Hepatitis A test checks for antibodies the body produces in response to the Hepatitis A virus. The antibodies can indicate a past or active infection.
The tests for Hepatitis A are highly accurate and can check if you have antibodies even before symptoms occur. However, it is important to have a discussion with your healthcare provider as other possible factors may affect the accuracy of your results.
Fasting or changing your diet before a Hepatitis A test isn't necessary. However, please ensure you are well-hydrated to make the blood draw easier.
If your Hepatitis A test is positive, follow your healthcare provider's instructions, including rest, avoiding alcohol, and proper nutrition. Hygiene measures and vaccination can help prevent the spread of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B & C which are caused by different viruses and are much more serious.
