IL28B test

I'm trying to find out about getting this test in Hong Kong. I was told it is "expensive" but no numbers as per yet. Does anyone know what this test costs in USA or UK by any chance? Also is it a blood test?

Best wishes

Doofus

Aprox.  $300 in the US. It can be done from a blood sample or a swab of cells from the inside of your cheek.
