The Hepatitis A, B & C Profile checks for current or past infection with all three major hepatitis viruses in one blood draw, alongside liver function tests to see how your liver is coping. It's for anyone with a possible exposure, travel risk, or symptoms suggestive of liver inflammation, or anyone who simply wants reassurance. The profile costs £392.50 plus a £50 blood-draw fee, with results back in 1 day. You can walk in or book online at 117a Harley Street, seven days a week, with no GP referral needed.
Doctors order this profile after a possible exposure to hepatitis, such as through unprotected sex, shared needles, a needlestick injury, or a tattoo or piercing done somewhere with uncertain hygiene standards.
It's also requested for people with symptoms that could suggest liver inflammation, such as unexplained fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine or abdominal discomfort.
Some people order it before travel to a region where hepatitis A or B is more common, or simply as part of routine sexual health screening.
No fasting is needed for this profile. Most people do not need to prepare in any special way, though you should follow any instruction your doctor has given you.
A positive hepatitis A or B result can mean current infection, past infection with recovery, or immunity from vaccination, depending on which specific markers are raised, so the pattern across the whole profile matters more than any single marker.
A positive hepatitis C antibody or antigen result needs prompt follow-up to establish whether the infection is current. Raised liver function results can reflect hepatitis but also many other causes, so they always need interpreting alongside your symptoms and history. Anyone with a positive result should arrange a doctor's appointment promptly rather than interpret the report alone.
If the concern is sexual exposure, see hepatitis testing at Sexual Health Clinic London.

This depends on which hepatitis virus and marker is involved, since antibodies and antigens appear at different times after exposure. Call the clinic on 020 7183 0244 for guidance suited to your situation.
For hepatitis A and B, the pattern of markers can show whether a positive result reflects vaccination-induced immunity rather than infection, though your doctor is best placed to interpret this.
Liver function tests show how your liver is working day to day, which helps put any hepatitis result into context alongside signs of active liver inflammation.
