Service Description

In Occupational Health, viral blood tests may be conducted to assess potential viral infections related to specific occupations or work environments. Here are some examples of viral blood tests that may be included in an occupational setting: 1. Hepatitis B and C: These blood tests screen for the presence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Certain occupations, such as healthcare, emergency responders, or laboratory workers, may have an increased risk of exposure to these viruses through contact with blood or bodily fluids. 2. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): The HIV blood test detects antibodies or antigens produced by the body in response to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. This test may be conducted for occupations involving potential exposure to HIV through needlestick injuries, blood contact, or other means. 3. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV): This blood test checks for the presence of antibodies to the Varicella-Zoster Virus, which causes chickenpox and can later reactivate as shingles. Occupational settings with a higher risk of exposure, such as healthcare or childcare, may require screening to ensure immunity. 4. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR): The MMR blood test determines the presence of antibodies to measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. Immunity to these viruses is crucial in occupations where there is a higher risk of exposure or interaction with vulnerable populations. It's important to note that the selection of viral blood tests will depend on the nature of the occupation, potential exposure risks, and any specific recommendations from regulatory agencies or occupational health guidelines. A qualified healthcare professional will assess your occupational health needs and determine which viral blood tests are relevant to your situation.
