Hepatitis B Immunity (Surface Antibody)
The Hepatitis B Immunity (Surface Antibody) blood test measures protective antibodies that indicate immunity to the Hepatitis B virus. These antibodies develop either after successful vaccination or following recovery from a previous infection.
Having surface antibodies means the immune system is able to recognise and defend against the virus if exposed again, providing reassurance that you are protected.
This test is commonly used to confirm immunity after vaccination, for occupational health screening, or before travel to areas where Hepatitis B is more common.
Knowing your immunity status helps guide decisions about booster vaccination and provides peace of mind.
