What does this panel look for?

Markers of acute or recent hepatitis A, B, and C infection, per the Quest panel description and CDC.

What does "reflex to confirmation" mean?

Certain initial positive results automatically trigger an added confirmatory test before final reporting.

Yes; the CDC notes many people have mild or no symptoms, which is why testing is the only way to know.

No; very recent exposures may fall in a window period, where early exposures may not yet show detectable markers. Discuss timing with a clinician.
