Biomarkers
HIV 1&2 Abs with P24 Ag
The HIV 1&2 Abs with P24 Ag test is a blood test used to diagnose HIV infection. It detects both antibodies for HIV-1 and HIV-2, as well as the p24 antigen, which is an early marker of HIV infection. This test is particularly useful in the early stages of HIV infection, as it can detect the virus before antibodies are fully developed. Early detection is crucial for initiating treatment and reducing the spread of the virus.
Hepatitis C Test
The Hepatitis C Test is a blood test used to detect the presence of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). This test identifies either the antibodies against HCV or the viral RNA itself, which indicates an active infection. Early diagnosis is important for preventing liver damage and determining the appropriate course of treatment. If antibodies are detected, further testing may be needed to confirm the active infection and assess the level of the virus.
AMH
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a protein hormone produced by cells in the ovarian follicles. It is an important marker of a woman’s ovarian reserve, which refers to the quantity and quality of her remaining eggs. AMH levels can help assess fertility potential, as lower levels may indicate a reduced ovarian reserve, while higher levels may suggest a larger number of eggs. This hormone plays a key role in regulating the development of reproductive organs during fetal development and can provide valuable insights into a woman’s fertility health, especially when considering fertility treatments.
Hepatitis B Blood Test
The Hepatitis B Blood Test is used to detect the presence of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the body. This test looks for HBV surface antigens, antibodies, and viral DNA. It helps diagnose an active infection, determine whether a person is immune to the virus (due to vaccination or prior infection), or identify a chronic infection. The test is crucial for assessing the risk of liver damage and determining the appropriate treatment or monitoring for individuals with Hepatitis B.
Fertility Levels
Fertility levels refer to a person’s biological ability to conceive and have children. These levels are typically evaluated using various indicators such as hormone levels (including AMH, FSH, LH), sperm count in men, and overall reproductive health. For women, the quality and quantity of eggs, ovarian reserve, and menstrual cycle regularity are key factors. In men, sperm count, motility, and morphology are important. Assessing fertility can help individuals or couples understand their reproductive health and make informed decisions regarding family planning or fertility treatments.
Information
Additional Information
The IVF viral screen blood test is designed to detect several viruses that can impact fertility and the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. It screens for viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV), all of which can cause scarring and damage to reproductive organs, potentially leading to infertility.
By identifying these viruses early on, the test allows doctors to address any issues before starting IVF treatment. This helps improve the chances of a successful pregnancy by ensuring that the reproductive system is in the best possible condition.
If you are considering IVF, discussing the IVF viral screen blood test with your doctor can be an essential step in optimizing your fertility treatment plan and increasing your chances of conceiving.
IVF treatment includes screening for infections that could affect fertility or be passed to the baby. Detecting viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C helps identify risks early and protect both the mother and baby. Positive results may lead to further assessments to ensure the safety of the pregnancy and improve IVF success.

FAQs
What do fertility blood tests check for?
Fertility blood tests are used to assess various factors that affect fertility, including hormone levels, ovarian reserve, and potential medical issues. These tests are considered the most accurate method for evaluating fertility, as they provide detailed and reliable information about reproductive health. Key areas they focus on include hormone imbalances, ovarian function, and other conditions that could impact the ability to conceive.
Who should have an IVF screen blood test?
Any woman considering IVF should undergo a screen blood test before starting treatment. This is important because it helps identify potential medical issues that could affect the success of the procedure. Additionally, screen blood tests can reveal women who may be at higher risk for complications during or after IVF, ensuring better preparation and personalized care for the treatment.

Once your results and personalized report are ready, you will receive an email notification with instructions to log in to the Welzo online platform and view your results.
What happens after a positive IVF blood test?
If a screen blood test shows positive results for any potential medical issues, your doctor will likely recommend further testing. This may include additional blood tests, ultrasounds, or MRI scans to get a more detailed view of the problem and guide the best course of treatment. In some cases, a positive screen blood test may suggest that IVF is not the ideal option. However, each situation is unique, so it’s important to discuss all available options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your fertility treatment.
When is the right time to have an IVF screen blood test?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as each woman’s situation is unique. However, it is generally recommended that women considering IVF undergo a screen blood test before starting treatment. This test helps identify potential medical issues that could affect the success of the procedure and highlights those who may be at higher risk for complications during or after IVF. If you have concerns about whether or not you should have an IVF screen blood test, it’s important to discuss them with your doctor to make an informed decision based on your specific health needs.
What if my results show that I’m outside the normal range?
If your test results fall outside the normal range and are concerning, it is important to contact your local GP or emergency services immediately by calling 111 or 999. Please remember that if you feel unwell or have health concerns, it is your responsibility to reach out to emergency services right away—do not wait for results to be issued.
