Frequently Asked Questions

Is fasting required for HAV Total test?

No, fasting is not required. This serology test can be performed on a non-fasting sample at any time of day.

What does a positive HAV Total result mean?

A positive result indicates exposure to Hepatitis A virus, either through natural infection or vaccination. IgM dominance suggests recent infection, while IgG dominance indicates past exposure or immunity from vaccination.

Can this test distinguish between vaccine-induced and natural infection immunity?

No, HAV Total detects both IgG and IgM antibodies without differentiating the source. Both natural infection and vaccination produce protective anti-HAV antibodies.

How long after exposure should I get tested?

Antibodies typically become detectable 2-4 weeks after exposure. Testing too early may yield false-negative results, so repeat testing after 2-3 weeks may be recommended if exposure is recent.

Does this test require special sample handling?

Serum sample of 1ml is collected in a plain or gel separator tube. No special fasting or preparation is needed. Sample should be sent promptly to the laboratory.
