The Hepatitis A Virus Antibody (Anti-HAV IgG) test detects IgG antibodies produced against the hepatitis A virus (HAV).

Unlike IgM antibodies, which indicate recent infection, IgG antibodies remain in the blood for years and signify long-term protection. This test helps determine whether you are protected against hepatitis A or at risk of infection.Why This Test
