The Pre-Marital the Hepatitis — the Protected/the Managed
The hepatitis screening before marriage is the **pre-marital and protective screening** — the HBV is sexually/ vertically transmissible; screening detects status/ serodiscordant ( one positive, one negative) — uninfected partner is vaccinated/ protected, infected is managed/ monitored.
The vertical — maternal the HBV transmits to newborn ( prevented by vaccine + the HBIG at birth ± antiviral); pre-marital screening enables planning; complete panel and counselling.
At Thamel Clinic, pre-marital is managed correctly — screened, protected, and supported.
Hepatitis screening before marriage is the pre-marital health check that protects both partners — HBV marker panel to determine immunity and infection status, HCV antibody to detect infection, and vaccination for non-immune partners. Screening before marriage is not distrust; it is the responsible health check that protects the partnership.
