About the Hepatitis B Resistant Mutation
The Hepatitis B Resistant Mutation is a confidential sexual health test available at St Paul's Medical and Dental, our private practice at 5 Ave Maria Lane in the City of London, EC4M 7AQ. A blood sample is collected by a registered nurse in an appointment of approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 7 days" and are delivered confidentially via secure email.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection affecting the liver, caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is transmitted through contact with infected blood and body fluids. The WHO estimates that approximately 296 million people worldwide live with chronic hepatitis B infection. The infection can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), and many individuals with chronic hepatitis B may not experience symptoms for years. Blood tests for hepatitis B include surface antigen (HBsAg) testing, which indicates current infection, surface antibody (anti-HBs) testing, which indicates immunity, and core antibody (anti-HBc) testing. Vaccination is available and is part of the UK routine immunisation programme.
St Paul's Medical and Dental is within walking distance of St Paul's tube station, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, making it convenient for City workers and local residents. All samples are processed by an accredited laboratory. Your appointment is entirely confidential, and results are delivered securely via email.
