About the Hepatitis C Antibodies (Venous)
The Hepatitis C Antibodies (Venous) is a confidential sexual health test available at Medical and Dental in Central London. A blood sample is collected by a registered nurse during an appointment lasting approximately 20 minutes. Results are typically available within 1 day" 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.

The Hepatitis C Antibodies (Venous) may be relevant for a range of individuals. The following are common reasons people choose to have this test:
- Individuals who have had unprotected sexual contact
