What Are The Symptoms Of Hepatitis B & C?

Many people with Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C experience no symptoms, particularly in the early stages of infection. This means it is possible to have the virus without realising, which is why regular testing is important if you believe you may have been exposed.

When symptoms do occur, they can include:

• Fatigue or weakness
• Flu-like symptoms
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea or vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Dark urine
• Pale stools
• Joint or muscle pain
• Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)

Symptoms can vary from person to person and may develop weeks or even months after exposure. If left untreated, both Hepatitis B and C can lead to serious liver damage over time. Taking a private test is the most reliable way to confirm whether you have an infection.

How Long After Exposure Should I Test for Hepatitis B & C?

The window period for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C can vary depending on the type of test being taken. In most cases, Hepatitis B and C can usually be detected within 28 days after exposure.

Testing too early may lead to inaccurate results, as the virus or antibodies may not yet be present at detectable levels. If you are unsure when to test, our team can help you choose the most appropriate option based on your circumstances and potential exposure date.

If you have recently been exposed and would like an earlier test, we also offer early detection Hepatitis B & C tests, which are accurate from 10 days after exposure.

How Long Does a Hepatitis B & C Test Take?

A Hepatitis B & C test is a simple blood sample at one of our phlebotomy stations, and the appointment normally takes 15-30 minutes. Our Hepatitis B & C tests provide results within 1 working day of our laboratory receiving your sample.

How To Test For Hepatitis B & C?

Hepatitis B & C tests are completed via a blood sample taken at one of our phlebotomy stations. The phlebotomist will take a small sample of blood before sending it to our laboratory for testing. Once the laboratory receives your sample, you’ll get your results within 1 working day.

Private Hepatitis B & C Testing FAQs

How Does The Testing Process Work?

Private Hepatitis B & C testing may involve blood, urine or swab samples, depending on the service you select.

Blood Samples

Blood samples are taken by trained healthcare professionals at our clinics and partner phlebotomy locations. A mobile home visit option is also available at checkout.

Urine and Swab Samples

Urine and swab samples can be provided either in the clinic or collected at home. This will depend on the service you select at the time of booking.

Once collected, samples are sent to our UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Depending on the clinic location, samples are dispatched either via secure courier or Tracked 24 Royal Mail.

You will receive a secure notification when your results are available. If you would like us to arrange a private GP consultation, please contact our team by telephone or email once your results have been released. We will not automatically schedule consultations without your request.

Is Your Sexual Health Service Confidential?

Yes. Your privacy is our priority.

Your test results remain confidential between you, Your Sexual Health and our laboratory. Results are not shared with the clinic location. Results are delivered securely through your private online portal.

We will only contact you regarding your appointment, your results, or to request feedback on your experience.

We do not disclose your results to any third party. Patients are responsible for sharing their results at their own discretion.

Your results are not automatically added to your NHS medical record. Information is only shared with your GP if you specifically request it.

We retain data only for as long as required under UK clinical and data protection regulations, after which it is securely deleted.

Can I Get Treatment if I Have an STI?

Yes. We can arrange a consultation with a private GP for any positive tests – free of charge. They can arrange prescriptions for you and provide advice on treatment, precautions, timelines, and follow-up tests.

Will You Tell My Doctor?

No. Our service is completely confidential between Your Sexual Health, the clinic you choose, our laboratory, and yourself. Should your test return a positive result, we can refer you to our partner medical organisation for treatment and a consultation, so that you don’t need to tell your regular GP if you don’t want to.

Will the Test Go On My NHS Record?

No. Your test and results are not automatically added to your NHS medical record.

We do not disclose your results to any third party. If you wish to share your results with your GP, this must be done at your request.

Can I Speak to Someone From Your Sexual Health After My Test?

Yes. Our team of trained experts are on hand to explain your results and talk you through what they mean. If you require it, we can recommend an independent private GP to you at no extra cost.

What Should I Do Whilst Waiting for the Results?

Try to avoid having sex or practice safe sex; this should be done at all times, irrespective of your results. If you believe you have an STD, because you’ve got symptoms or because someone has told you that you might have caught it from them, then you should avoid having sex at all until you are all clear.

What STDs Can You Test For?

We cover all of the most common STDs with our extensive range of tests. Many of our tests cover multiple tests at once to give you peace of mind, while we also provide single STD tests if you know exactly what you’re testing for.
