The World Health Organization has identified HIV and viral hepatitis as important public health issues in India (WHO). Hepatitis viruses A through E are responsible for viral hepatitis, with Hepatitis A, B, and C accounting for the vast majority of cases. Because of intravenous drug misuse, needle sharing, and unsafe sex, cases of viral hepatitis and HIV infection are rising.

The fact that the majority of those afflicted with the virus are ignorant of it raises more significant issues. As a result, we have developed a special package that will test you for the three most common forms of hepatitis viruses-A, B, and C-as well as HIV. So, test yourself today before it's too late.

Viral Marker Profiling: Why is it done?

If you experience any signs or symptoms of acute hepatitis, such as jaundice, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, or dark urine that may be caused by Hepatitis B infection, consult your doctor immediately.

• If you exhibit chronic hepatitis symptoms that could be a sign of hepatitis C infection
• If you are expecting,
• If you have had frequent contact with a person who has Hepatitis B, C, or HIV
• If your medical professional suspects you may have HIV
• If you undergo regular dialysis
• If you've ever injected illicit substances

Test Parameters 

Interpreting outcomes from viral marker profiles

• While a positive or ambiguous HCV antibody test with negative HCV RNA implies a prior infection, a negative HCV antibody test reveals no hepatitis C virus infection.
• If both HCV RNA and antibody tests are positive, it means the patient is currently infected with the hepatitis C virus.
• When both screening and confirmatory tests are positive, it typically denotes HIV infection, while a negative test for HIV antigen or antibody typically shows no infection with the HIV.
• Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and Hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg) positivity signify active viral infection.
