About Hepatitis A Immunity Test | HAV Blood Test in Chicago
Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, which is transmitted primarily through contaminated food or water or close contact with an infected person.
The immune system responds to HAV infection by producing antibodies, including IgG antibodies that persist for life and provide long-term protection against reinfection.
Vaccination against hepatitis A also stimulates the production of these antibodies, so a positive antibody result generally indicates immunity whether it came from natural infection or immunization.
This test is typically ordered when a person needs to confirm immune status, such as before certain medical treatments, for occupational health screening, or to assess the need for vaccination.
