yahuseyyah Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Any place with a reasonable price to do these tests in Bangkok (preferably Sukhumvit) and/or in Pattaya? I am sure these tests cost less than my home country anyway but can you give me also an idea how much I should expect to pay? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sukhumvit Hospital, about Sukhumvit and Ekamai. About 3600 Baht for a complete checkup. Easy access by the BTS or bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 i paid around 300-400 THB for a HIV test in Phromit Hospital on Sukhumvit Soi 39 a couple of years ago. Guess Samitivej (Soi 49) should be similar and Bumrungrad a bit more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several tests used to detect the presence of hepatitis B antibodies. Antibodies are produced by the body to offer protection from antigens (foreign proteins). There are also several tests that detect the presence of viral antigens. The hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is the most common test. Its presence indicates previous exposure to HBV, but the virus is no longer present and the person cannot pass on the virus to others. The antibody also protects the body from future HBV infection. In addition to exposure to HBV, the antibodies can also be acquired from successful vaccination. This test is done to determine the need for vaccination (if anti-HBs is absent), or following the completion of vaccination against the disease, or following an active infection. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a protein antigen produced by HBV. This antigen is the earliest indicator of acute hepatitis B and frequently identifies infected people before symptoms appear. HBsAg disappears from the blood during the recovery period. In some people (particularly those infected as children or those with a weak immune system, such as those with AIDS), chronic infection with HBV may occur and HBsAg remains positive.

Redbaron Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Don't know where OP's home country is but I regularly get one for free down under. Full test (HIV, all Hep's, gono, knob-rot etc) as well as a few non STD blood tests, cholesterol, diabetes etc... AFAIK it's not that expensive in western countries.
