Hepatitis is the term used to describe the inflammation of the liver. The condition has several types, including Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, and is often the result of a viral infection or liver damage.

Symptoms, when present, can include:

• Jaundice
• Abdominal pain
• Sickness
• Tiredness
• Dark urine
• High temperature
• Joint or muscle pain.

Whilst some forms of Hepatitis pass without any serious health problems, untreated infections can be longer lasting, resulting in loss of liver function, cirrhosis and, in some cases, liver cancer.

Testing is the only way to be certain of a Hepatitis infection and at Better2Know we have a range of discreet testing options to suit your personal requirements.

What are my Hepatitis testing options?

As well as testing you individually for various forms of the virus, Hepatitis testing is also included in several of Better2Know’s comprehensive sexual health screens. Hepatitis B & C infections will be detected as part of the Platinum Screen and Early Platinum Screen, the Early Detection Screen and the Gold Screen. Hepatitis B is also available in both the Full Screen and Silver Screen.

If Hepatitis is your main concern, Better2Know’s Hepatitis Screen uses a single blood sample to detect Hepatitis A, B & C infections.

At your private appointment, you will be seen by a qualified clinician, who will take your blood sample. Once collected, your sample is then sent for analysis at our central, fully certified laboratory. All our screens are designed and reviewed by a panel of medical experts to give you the peace of mind you need. For more information on the availability of our tests and screens in Oman, please visit our website.

How will I receive my results?

Depending on the test or screen you select, your results will be available as early as one working day after your sample’s arrival at our lab. Test results are reported to the secure patient login area of our website and can be accessed online at a time that is convenient to you. You will also be contacted by a member of Better2Know’s sexual health advisory team when all your results are ready.

What if my test is reactive?

If your Hepatitis test or screen is reactive, Better2Know will arrange further, confirmatory testing at no additional cost. We can also schedule private consultations with one of our many doctors in the Middle East and, if necessary, we will refer you to a specialist service. You may instead decide to take your results to your local doctor or healthcare provider.
