H3 profile blood test is often done as a pre-operative test, antenatal care test, post needle stick injury or exposure to body fluid from a suspected case. This test is not done for babies and children up to 2 years born to HIV-positive mothers.
The H3 Viral Marker Profile by CLIA – Serum test is done to:
- Detect HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses in patients.
- Confirm whether the patient has been exposed to any viruses such as HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.
- To monitor the progression of HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infection.
- To screen an individual who has not previously been tested but is suspected to be infected with one of these viruses.
- The H3 Viral Marker Profile test is done to detect HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections in patients, confirm whether the patient has been exposed to any of the viruses, and monitor the progression of the HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections.
- During the H3 profile blood test blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial. You may feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. This usually takes less than five minutes
The H3 Viral Marker Profile by CLIA-Serum Test results for HIV, HCV and HBsAg are as follows:
HIV duo-reactive: Requires two tests with different antigens or different detection methods to diagnose.
HIV duo-negative: This could indicate recent exposure or no exposure. Repeat the test in two weeks to confirm. Early diagnosis can be done with RNA PCR 7 days after exposure.
HCV antibody detected: Patient is exposed. Use HCV RNA PCR to confirm acute infection.
HCV antibody not detected: Patient not infected or antibodies have not developed yet.
HBsAg detected: Patient believed to be infected. Confirmation is needed to prevent false positives. Persistence of HBsAg over 6 months indicates chronic infection.
HBsAg not detected: This could mean that the patient is in the window period or early infection stage. Anti-HBc IgM or HBV DNA detection may confirm the result.
- The test measures Hepatitis B surface antigen (Hbs Ag), Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV ab), HIV antibody and P24 antigen of HIV.
