Lab tests can tell if one has hepatitis and what kind (Example: A, B, C...etc). The tests do not tell how a person got the disease. If you are concerned you have it for whatever reason, ask for a hepatic panel (something like that) to be performed. Good Luck.
Here, we don't concern ourselves much about how one got it...only how to get rid of it!
