Test Overview
Hepatitis B surface antibody test (HBsAb) detects antibodies against hepatitis B virus (HBV). The Anti HBsAg test is used to determine past exposure & status of adequate immunity in vaccinated individuals
The Anti HbsAg Antibody test is used to identify an individual's level of immunity against Hepatitis B as part of the screening and evaluation to prevent and control Hepatitis B infection.
It helps detect the Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) in a person's plasma sample to confirm if a person is vaccinated or infected with the virus.
This test also helps assess the acquired immunity against the disease. Sufficient anti-HbsAg antibodies indicate that a person has been infected with and recovered from the disease or has been vaccinated against HBV, essential for high-risk groups such as healthcare workers and pregnant women.
Who should do an Anti HbsAg Antibody test?
People who should consider taking an Anti HbsAg Antibody test include -
- Individuals with a family history of liver disease
- Healthcare workers
- Pregnant women
- People who have recently traveled abroad
- Individuals with a weakened immune system
- People who use injection drugs
For health professionals, an Anti-HbsAg Antibody test can provide the following important information:
- Determine HBV exposure.
- Differentiate between individuals exposed and those who have eliminated the pathogen.
- Find recent HBV viral exposures.
- Find HBV-immune persons
- Evaluate HBV therapies.
- Identify acute and chronic HBV infections
- Help manage HBV infection
- Prenatal HBV testing for pregnant women

It is used to detect past exposure to HBV; it can also develop from successful vaccination so it is used to conclude the need for vaccination (if anti-HBs is absent) or to establish if a person has recovered from an infection and is immune (cannot get the infection again).
Anti-HBs or HBsAb (hepatitis B surface antibody) is detected in a blood test after the disappearance of HBsAg in persons who are able to get rid of the virus and avoid a chronic infection. The presence of anti-HBs following a novel acute infection generally points towards recovery and a person is then secured (or “immune”) from re-infection with hepatitis B.
Hepatitis B tests may be recommended when someone shows symptoms associated with acute hepatitis. Some of these include:
