HIV, Hepatitis B and C analysis

About this test and how it can help you

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) targets the immune cells of your body. This can make it more difficult for you to fight infections, as your immune system slowly weakens. HIV is typically passed on from an individual that is infected with the virus to others through unprotected sex. However, exposure may also occur when sharing used and contaminated needles as HIV can be transmitted through blood to blood contact. Further to this, the virus may be unknowingly transmitted to a child through the mothers’ breast milk. This outlines just a few of the reasons why early detection of HIV is integral in reducing the risk of unknowingly passing the virus onto others.

Hepatitis B and C infections are caused by the hepatitis B and C viruses respectively. These viruses target and attack the liver leading to damage which can result in scarring that can place you at a greater risk of developing potentially life-threatening liver failure or liver cancer. Hepatitis B has a similar mode of transmission to HIV and can be transmitted through unprotected sex and contaminated needles.

Hepatitis C may also be passed on through unprotected sex, though is more likely to be transmitted through direct blood to blood contact, such as through the sharing of contaminated needles.
