The virus that causes hepatitis B (HBV) is a DNA virus, transmitted by blood (transfusions, contaminated needles, sexual intercourse after childbirth, surgical or dental instruments, etc.).. You do not acquire hepatitis B through cutlery, plates, kiss, hug or any other kind of social activity where no contact occurs with blood. After infection, the virus is concentrated almost entirely in the cells of the liver, where their DNA will make hepatocytes build new viruses.

The traditional diagnosis of hepatitis B only detects the presence of antibodies against the virus through the antigen x antibody reaction. The e-DNA uses the technique of Real Time PCR in their tests, which directly detects the genetic material, that is, the viral DNA from HBV present in the sample collected, thereby increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

In the e-DNA you can perform your HBV test in complete security and confidentiality. The collection of the material is simple and painless, just follow the instructions in the kit you will receive in your home.

Only in the e-DNA you can perform your Hepatitis B + HIV test at a discount and by a single collection. Another differential of e-DNA in the examination of HBV is that you have the result of its testing in a maximum period of 5 business days and still have the facility to carry out the examination on payment of up to six (6) times without interest using your credit card (VISA and Mastercard).
