No fasting is required for any of the four infection marker tests. They can be performed at any time of day from a straightforward blood draw with no advance dietary preparation needed. At Galwa Care Hospital, results for all four infection markers are typically available on the same day, with a physician available to review and explain your findings promptly. Any reactive result is reviewed immediately by a specialist who provides clear, compassionate, and confidential guidance on the next steps without any unnecessary delay.

A reactive result on a screening test indicates the need for confirmatory testing and does not automatically confirm a definitive diagnosis. Our specialists will arrange confirmatory testing and guide you through the next clinical steps immediately without any delay. All infection marker results at Galwa Care Hospital are handled under strict medical confidentiality protocols and are shared only with you and your treating physician, never disclosed to third parties including employers, insurance companies, or family members without your explicit and informed consent.

Yes on all counts. Hepatitis B can be effectively managed with antiviral therapy that prevents progression to cirrhosis and liver cancer, and close contacts can be protected through vaccination. Hepatitis C can now be completely cured in the vast majority of patients with modern direct-acting antiviral medications when the infection is detected in time. HIV is a fully manageable long-term condition when detected early and treated with antiretroviral therapy. People who begin treatment promptly can achieve undetectable viral loads, live healthy and fulfilling lives, and eliminate the risk of transmitting the virus to others.

No. While Syphilis is primarily sexually transmitted, VDRL testing is also a routine and mandatory component of antenatal screening, pre-surgical workups, and general preventive health check panels, making it relevant for a broad range of patients well beyond sexual health screening alone.

Our team will guide you through the process with complete privacy, support, and respect, ensuring that getting tested is as straightforward, accessible, and stigma-free as it deserves to be.
