Diagnosis / Prognosis - GeneXpert HBV DNA Viral Load Assay
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Dried Blood Spot HBV DNA test

Chronic hepatitis B - 300 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B will be enrolled. A fingerstick HBV DNA test will be performed using the Xpert HBV Viral Load assay, and a dried blood spot sample will be collected which will be tested using a gold standard HBV DNA viral load assay. Both results will be compared against the HBV DNA viral load from standard of care venous blood using the gold standard HBV DNA viral load assy. Enrolment of HBV DNA undetectable participants will be capped at 100.


Diagnosis / Prognosis: GeneXpert HBV DNA Viral Load Assay
The Xpert venous blood HBV DNA viral load assay will be adapted to operate using fingerstick capillary blood samples.

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Dried Blood Spot HBV DNA test
HBV DNA viral load will be measured from a fingerstick capillary dried blood spot sample using a gold standard HBV DNA viral load assay
