What Is an At-Home Hepatitis Test?

At-home hepatitis testing uses a finger-prick blood spot sample you collect at home and mail to a CLIA-certified lab. The lab tests for hepatitis antibodies and posts results to your secure online account in approximately 5 days.

It’s important to note that myLAB Box panels include Hepatitis C specifically — not Hepatitis A or B. Hepatitis C is the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States and is often asymptomatic for years. The CDC recommends that all adults get tested for Hep C at least once.

If you need to test for Hepatitis A or B specifically, those are available as standalone tests or through a lab visit. If you test positive for Hepatitis C, a physician from the provider’s network will contact you to discuss results and next steps — Hepatitis C is curable with antiviral medication.

How At-Home Hepatitis Test Works

Four steps from order to results — no clinic required.

Order Your Kit

Choose a panel that includes Hepatitis C. Your kit ships in plain, unmarked packaging — nothing on the outside identifies the contents.

Collect Your Sample

Use the included lancet to prick your fingertip and collect a few drops of blood on the dried blood spot card. Takes about 5 minutes.

Mail It Back

Drop your sample in the prepaid return envelope and leave it for your mail carrier or drop it at any USPS location.

Get Your Results

Results are posted to your secure account in approximately 5 days. You’ll get a notification when they’re ready.

How Accurate Is At-Home Hepatitis Test?

>97%

Sensitivity (Hep C antibody test)

Hepatitis C antibody tests have a sensitivity exceeding 97% after the window period. The test detects anti-HCV antibodies produced by your immune system in response to infection.

>99%

Specificity

False positives can occur in certain conditions. A reactive result may be confirmed with an HCV RNA test before a diagnosis is made.

When Should You Test After Exposure?

The Hepatitis C antibody test has a window period of 8–11 weeks after exposure. Some guidelines suggest testing at 6 months for a definitive result. If you test negative within the window period, retest at 6 months to confirm.
