Hepatitis A is a liver infection spread through contaminated food or water and through certain sexual contact. Unlike hepatitis B and C, it doesn't become chronic, but it can cause a sudden, uncomfortable illness. This blood test looks for IgM antibodies, the marker of a recent or current infection. No judgment, and nothing is billed to insurance.

Hepatitis A IgM antibodies typically appear around the time symptoms begin (often about 2–7 weeks after exposure) and stay detectable for several months. Testing when you have symptoms or a known exposure gives the most useful result.

Understanding Your Results

Results post to your secure online account, usually in 1–2 business days, in plain English. A positive IgM indicates a recent or current hepatitis A infection. Hepatitis A usually clears on its own with rest and supportive care and doesn't become chronic; a provider can guide you on recovery. Vaccination prevents future infection. Nothing appears on your insurance record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this show up on my insurance?
No. You pay directly, nothing is billed to insurance, and nothing appears on your insurance record. Your results go only to your secure account, 100% confidential.
Does hepatitis A become chronic like B or C?
No. Hepatitis A is a short-term (acute) infection that your body clears. It doesn't become a long-term condition. This test looks for a recent or current infection.
How soon after exposure can I test?
IgM antibodies usually appear around the time symptoms start, roughly 2–7 weeks after exposure, and remain detectable for several months. Testing during symptoms gives the clearest result.
Does this check if I'm immune or vaccinated?
No. This IgM test identifies a recent infection. Checking immunity from past infection or vaccination requires a separate IgG antibody test.
