About this test

The anti-HAV total test detects total antibodies (IgG and IgM) against the hepatitis A virus (HAV), which spreads through contaminated food and water.

A negative result means you have no immunity and may benefit from hepatitis A vaccination.

A positive result indicates past infection or vaccination, usually providing lifelong immunity. However, it cannot distinguish recent from past infection, so anti-HAV IgM is needed to diagnose acute hepatitis A.

It is useful for checking immunity before vaccination, especially in people with chronic liver disease, travelers, and food handlers.

Questions about this test

When should I get the Anti HAV Total test?

You should get an anti-HAV total test to check immunity to hepatitis A before vaccination, especially if you have chronic liver disease, hepatitis B or C, or are planning travel, work as a food handler, or are a healthcare worker. It may also help confirm past infection in people with unclear history.

How should I prepare for the Anti HAV Total test?

No special preparation or fasting is required for an anti-HAV total test. Inform your doctor about your hepatitis A vaccination history, any past jaundice, and any recent immunoglobulin or blood transfusion, as these can affect antibody results. Bring previous liver function reports if available.

Do I require fasting for the Anti HAV Total test?

No, fasting is not required for an anti-HAV total test. You can eat and drink normally before giving your sample, and the test can be done at any time of day. Share your vaccination history to help interpret the results correctly.
