A member asked:

How long does it take to get hepatitis b test results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: It depends on the type of test. Antibody tests can be completed the same day. Nucleic acid tests may take longer, depending on the frequency with which the lab does the test. Call you doctor if it has been a couple of days since the blood was taken for testing.
