Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers to the FAQs published with this service.

• What is the purpose of the HBV drug resistance panel?

The test aims to identify genetic mutations in the virus that make it non-responsive to specific antiviral medications.

• Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting or special dietary preparation is not required for this blood test.

• How is the test performed?

It is performed via a simple venous blood draw, followed by molecular biology analysis in the lab.

• Who should undergo this test?

Patients experiencing a rise in viral load despite treatment adherence, or those starting new therapy lines.

• Does this test confirm a complete cure?

No, this test is specifically for evaluating drug efficacy and resistance, not for confirming viral clearance.

• Is home collection available for this service?

Yes, a lab specialist can visit your home to collect the blood sample conveniently.
