- Those experiencing symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal pain.
- Individuals with a history of high-risk behaviors, such as unprotected sex or sharing needles.
- People with a family history of liver disease.

Benefits of Taking the Test
Understanding your Hepatitis B status is crucial for:
- Early detection of liver disease.

- Making informed decisions about lifestyle and healthcare.
- Preventing the spread of the virus to others.
Understanding Your Results
