Hepatitis B Confirmation Testing: Your Path to Clarity and Peace of Mind
Receiving a positive Hepatitis B screening result can be overwhelming and create uncertainty about your health future. We understand the anxiety and questions that come with this moment. Our HBsAg Confirmation Test provides the definitive answer you need to move forward with confidence, offering clarity when you need it most.
Understanding Your HBsAg Confirmation Test
The Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) Confirmation Test is a specialised laboratory procedure that definitively confirms whether a positive Hepatitis B screening result indicates an active infection. Using advanced CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) technology, this test provides the accuracy and reliability needed for confident healthcare decisions.
When your initial screening shows positive for Hepatitis B, this confirmation test acts as your second opinion – verifying the result through a neutralisation procedure that eliminates false positives and gives you the certainty required for proper medical management.
Who Should Take This Confirmation Test?
This test is essential for anyone who has received a positive Hepatitis B screening result and needs definitive confirmation. You should consider this test if:
- You’ve had a recent positive Hepatitis B screening test
- You’re experiencing symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal discomfort
- You have known exposure to Hepatitis B through contact or medical procedures
- You require confirmation before starting treatment or making lifestyle changes
- You need peace of mind about your Hepatitis B status
Early confirmation allows for timely intervention and proper management, significantly improving long-term health outcomes.
Why Confirmation Testing Matters for Your Health
Getting definitive Hepatitis B confirmation provides multiple crucial health benefits:
- Treatment Guidance: Confirmed results help your doctor create the most effective treatment plan
- Prevention Planning: Knowing your status helps protect loved ones through proper precautions
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty and reduce the stress of not knowing
- Early Intervention: Timely confirmation leads to better management and improved outcomes

With Hepatitis B affecting many South Africans, early detection and proper management are key to maintaining good health.
