In a city as dynamic and diverse as Dubai, a proactive approach to health is a shared responsibility. While illnesses like Hepatitis B and C may not always show outward signs, they can quietly reside in the body for years, potentially leading to serious conditions like liver disease, cirrhosis, and cancer.
Vesta Care is committed to providing a solution that makes it simple to take control. We offer a confidential and professional Hepatitis B & C Test and related STD check up in Dubai, delivered right to your doorstep. Our mission is to eliminate the barriers of traditional clinic visits, providing you with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your health status safely and conveniently.
What the Hepatitis B & C test detects
One blood sample, taken at home, answers:
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) — a current hepatitis B infection
- Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) — immunity, from vaccination or a cleared infection
- Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) — exposure to the virus at some point
- Hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) — exposure to the hepatitis C virus
- Hepatitis C RNA (PCR) — confirms whether a hepatitis C infection is still active
Understanding Hepatitis B and C: how the viruses are passed on
How do you catch hepatitis B or C?
Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that are transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids. The initial, or acute, phase of the infection can be so mild that many people don’t even know they’re infected. When symptoms do appear, they can be vague and easily mistaken for other illnesses.
What the Hepatitis B & C serology panel reports
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are two different viruses and are reported by two different sets of markers from the same blood draw. Hepatitis B is read from three markers together; hepatitis C starts with an antibody test and is confirmed by RNA. Your Vesta Care physician explains the combination, free of charge.

A Critical Time for Screening: When Clarity is a Must
For certain individuals, a Hepatitis B & C test is not just recommended, but a vital part of preventative care.
For Residency Visas
Hepatitis B and C tests are a mandatory part of the medical fitness screening for UAE residency visas. A positive result, particularly for Hepatitis C, can affect your visa application. Knowing your status beforehand can help you navigate this process with a clearer understanding of your situation.
For Expectant Parents
Screening for hepatitis B and C for pregnant women is a critical step in prenatal care. The viruses can be transmitted from mother to child during birth. A simple test allows doctors to take preventative measures—such as administering a vaccine and an immune globulin shot to the newborn at birth—that can prevent a lifetime of chronic disease for the baby.
For men, a key concern is that they are statistically more likely to develop chronic Hepatitis B after an acute infection than women. Early signs may include fatigue, fever, and a general feeling of being unwell. These can lead to more serious indications of liver damage. Therefore, knowing the symptoms of hepatitis B & C in men is a crucial first step toward awareness, even though it’s no substitute for testing. These may include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, and abdominal pain. However, it’s important to remember that most people with a chronic infection have no symptoms at all, highlighting the necessity of regular screening.
- Fatigue and fever read as any ordinary viral illness
- Jaundice and dark urine appear only once the liver is affected
- Most people with a chronic infection have no symptoms at all
- HBsAg for a current hepatitis B infection
- Anti-HBs and anti-HBc to separate immunity from exposure
- An HCV antibody test, confirmed by HCV RNA (PCR)
