Frequently asked
Plain-language answers about hepatitis b risk, this screener, and what evaluation costs at a Class A hospital in China.
- Should I get tested for hepatitis B?
- Most international guidelines recommend at least one-time HBV testing for adults. Higher-risk groups (people born in HBV-endemic regions including China and SE Asia, family history of HBV, IV drug use, multiple sexual partners) should be tested without delay.
- What does HBV testing cost in China?
- The standard panel (HBsAg + anti-HBs + anti-HBc) is $15–30 at any Class A international department. Adding HBV DNA quantitation, FibroScan, and a hepatology consult is typically $80–150 all-in.
- What's the cost of tenofovir antiviral treatment in China?
- Generic tenofovir disoproxil (TDF) is $5–15/month. Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF, Vemlidy) is $15–30/month — vs $1,200–1,800/month in the US for the same drug. See our Tenofovir-Hepatitis-B page.
