Tests for HBV DNA, such as NAT, screen for the infectious virus itself and are more sensitive compared with HBsAg (the test we currently use) when performed on single donations in countries with low prevalence of HBV. The recent availability of fully automated testing platforms for HBV NAT allow for rapid individual donation screening.
