Virology Blood Tests

Virology blood tests are important for identifying and diagnosing viral infections that can have an impact on fertility and pregnancy. These tests are able to help detect viruses that may be present in the blood, including Rubella, Hepatitis B and C, HIV and more. These viral infections can have an impact on the chances of natural conception or pregnancy if not diagnoses and treated.

What Virology Blood Tests Tell You

Viral infections can spread quickly and have a number of impacts of your health and wellbeing, including fertility and conception. Virology blood tests are designed to detect any viral infections in the blood, including:

  • Rubella: If contracted during pregnancy, Rubella can cause birth defects such as deafness, blindness or heart defects.
  • Hepatitis B & C: These viruses can lead to liver inflammation, impacting fertility and pregnancy outcomes.
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV): HIV weakens the immune system. This can lead to increased risks of pregnancy complications.
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV): If contracted during pregnancy, CMV can lead to serious birth defects.

If you are trying to conceive or would like to know more about your chances of fertility, virology blood tests can help ensure that there are no viral implications that may hinder these chances.

If you have previously been told that you have contracted a viral infection, virology blood tests can help determine whether or not they are still present and how they can be treated. Take hold of your health and wellbeing and book a virology blood test today with your local Ultrasound Care clinic.
