The Viral Markers Rapid Test is a simple blood screening package designed to check for three major viral infections: Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. These viruses can affect your liver and immune system, often without showing clear symptoms at first. Early detection is important because it helps you and your doctor understand your health status and take timely action if needed.

This package is especially useful for people who may have been exposed to these viruses through blood transfusions, medical procedures, or other risk factors common in India. By finding out about these infections early, you can make informed decisions about your health and prevent possible complications. This test is quick, reliable, and can be a key step in protecting your well-being and the health of your loved ones.

What’s Included in my Package?

This package includes three important blood tests that work together to give a complete picture of your viral health. Each test looks for signs of a specific virus in your blood.

Test Name	What It Checks
HBsAg (Hepatitis B Surface Antigen) (1)	Detects the presence of Hepatitis B virus, which can cause liver infection.
HCV (Hepatitis C Virus) (1)	Checks for Hepatitis C virus, which may lead to long-term liver problems.
HIV Antibody, Rapid Card (2)	Screens for antibodies to HIV, the virus that affects the immune system.

Together, these tests help identify if you have been exposed to any of these viruses, even if you do not have symptoms. This combined approach offers a thorough check for three major infections with just one blood sample.
