World Hepatitis Day: Protect Your Liver and Sexual Health with Randox Health
Each year on 28th July, World Hepatitis Day raises global awareness about hepatitis — a silent but serious infection affecting the liver that can lead to chronic disease, liver failure, or cancer.
At Randox Health, we believe prevention begins with awareness and early detection. Therefore, we offer advanced testing solutions designed to safeguard your liver and sexual health.
What is Hepatitis and Why Should You Care?
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, primarily caused by viral infections (hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E). In addition, lifestyle factors and other illnesses can impact liver function. Specifically, chronic hepatitis B and C infections pose significant risks because they can quietly damage the liver over several years without symptoms.
Moreover, millions of people globally live with undiagnosed hepatitis, increasing the risk of liver cirrhosis, failure, or cancer. Since hepatitis often spreads through blood and bodily fluids — including sexual contact — understanding your risks and getting tested is crucial.
Why Liver Health Matters
The liver plays a vital role in detoxifying your body, processing nutrients, and supporting your immune system. Consequently, maintaining liver health is essential for overall wellbeing.
Our Liver Health Check offers a comprehensive assessment of liver function and detects early signs of liver damage or infection. Using cutting-edge biomarkers, this test can identify:
Inflammation and fibrosis (scarring)
Fatty liver disease
Liver function impairment
Importantly, early detection enables timely action, which helps prevent progression to severe liver disease.
The Link Between Liver Health and Sexual Health
Because hepatitis B and C can be transmitted through sexual contact, protecting your sexual health is a crucial part of liver disease prevention.
For this reason, Randox Health’s Complete STI Health Check screens for multiple sexually transmitted infections — including hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea — providing a full picture of your sexual health status.
Staying Safe with Randox Health
Advanced Testing: The Liver Health Check and Complete STI Health Check both use Randox’s revolutionary testing technology, ensuring reliable and early detection.

Take Control on World Hepatitis Day
To reduce your risks, consider the following steps:
Schedule a Liver Health Check to monitor your liver function and detect risks early.
Opt for a Complete STI Health Check to identify and prevent hepatitis and other infections.
Practice safer sex by consistently using protection.
Additionally, get vaccinated against hepatitis B where possible.
Finally, avoid sharing needles and ensure tattoos or piercings are performed with sterile equipment.
