not in the philippins, only old useless tests for cronic carriers.

you should look if you have any research center for hbv in your country, research center must have the same tests as the rest of the world at minimum.hbsag architect quantification, hbvdna pcr sensibility till 6iu/ml, fibroscan

Hi I'm also a Filipino. There are tests needed for you to take to be considered for medication like HBV dna, sgpt, and hepatitis panel. It's best for you to consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist so that you will be explained thoroughly about hep b. I don't particularly know of a hospital there in Manila because I'm from Cebu but I think any hospital has a laboratory where hep b tests can be obtained.
