What is HBsAg Screening?

  • Purpose: HBsAg screening is used to detect current infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
  • Method: It involves a simple blood test to identify the presence of HBsAg, which is a protein on the surface of the HBV.

Why is HBsAg Screening Important?

  • Early Detection: Helps diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B infections.
  • Prevention: Identifies individuals who may benefit from vaccination against hepatitis B.
  • Monitoring: Monitors the effectiveness of treatment in individuals with chronic hepatitis B.
  • Public Health: Plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of hepatitis B virus.

Who Should Get HBsAg Screening?

  • High-Risk Groups: Individuals at higher risk include:
    • Healthcare workers exposed to blood or body fluids.
    • Individuals born to HBV-infected mothers.
    • People with multiple sexual partners or who engage in high-risk sexual behavior.
    • Injecting drug users who share needles.
    • People living with someone who has chronic HBV infection.
