Email 118: Hepatitis Test and HIV

Hi Sir:

I want to ask if I want to be tested for hepatitis, will it also show in the result if I am reactive to HIV?

CONTRIBUTOR'S RESPONSE

Dear XXX,

Thank you for writing an email, first of all the test between hepatitis and HIV is completely different. A hepatitis screening cannot detect HIV antibodies and vice versa.

Hopefully that answers your queries.
