Diagnosis and treatment
Hepatitis A can be diagnosed by a simple blood test. If you have had hepatitis A but your body has cleared it, you may be protected from future infection with hepatitis A.
You will be most infectious before symptoms occur and may remain infectious for a few days afterwards. Infection is usually mild, but some people may need to be admitted to hospital.
If you test positive for hepatitis A it would be advisable to get your current sexual partner into the clinic for a check-up.
