Hepatitis A virus – IgG Antibodies Total (HAV IgG)

Hepatitis A virus – IgG Antibodies Total (HAV IgG)

Total anti-HAV antibodies, or anti-HAV IgG, are detectable at the onset of symptoms and provide life-long immunity against HAV. Safe and effective vaccines are available since the early 90 s. Their high immunogenicity is reflected in rapid seroconversion rates, enabling both pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis

.

If your test is positive or reactive, it may mean: You have an active HAV infection. You have had an HAV infection in the past. You have gotten the hepatitis A vaccine.

.

A positive test for total anti-HAV indicates immunity to HAV infection but does not differentiate current from previous HAV infection. Although usually not sensitive enough to detect the low level of protective antibody after vaccination, anti-HAV tests also might be positive after hepatitis A vaccination.
