What's this test for?

This test is required for professional fighters (boxers, MMA competitors, etc.) who need medical clearance to compete. Most states require proof that you don't have HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or blood disorders before you can step into the ring or cage. It's essential if you're getting licensed, renewing your fighter's license, or preparing for an upcoming bout.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive doctor notes in simple language explaining what your screening results mean for your competition eligibility and overall health. These notes include guidance on next steps, whether you're cleared to compete, or if any results need follow-up with your athletic commission or physician. You'll also get the standard lab report that you can submit to your state athletic commission, and you can track your health markers over time using our trends feature for ongoing monitoring.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures HIV 1/2 Antigen and Antibodies (fourth generation), Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Hepatitis C Antibody, and Complete Blood Count including White Blood Cell Count, Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, and differential counts. This panel screens for HIV using fourth-generation testing that detects both antibodies and antigens for early detection. It checks for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C infections, which can be transmitted through blood contact in combat sports. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) evaluates your red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets to ensure you don't have anemia, blood disorders, or other conditions that could make fighting dangerous. Together, these tests provide the comprehensive screening most state athletic commissions require for fighter safety and competition clearance.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should stop taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7, B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R) at least 72 hours before your blood draw, as high-dose biotin can interfere with some of the tests in this panel. No fasting is required for this test. Make sure to bring a valid photo ID to the lab, and if you're getting tested for a specific competition or licensing requirement, confirm with your state athletic commission that this panel covers all their required tests.

When will I get my results?

Most results are typically available within 1-3 business days after your blood is drawn. However, if any test requires reflex confirmation testing (like Hepatitis B or C), those specific results may take a few additional days. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view online, giving you time to submit them to your athletic commission before your fight date.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is essential for professional fighters, boxers, MMA competitors, kickboxers, and other combat sports athletes who need medical clearance to compete. You'll need this if you're applying for a new fighter's license, renewing an existing license, or preparing for an upcoming sanctioned bout. Even amateur fighters or those training for their first competition should consider this test to ensure they meet athletic commission requirements and can compete safely.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Most fighters getting this test don't have symptoms—it's required for competition safety and licensing, not symptom-based. However, if you've been exposed to blood during training or previous fights, or if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, easy bruising, frequent infections, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, these could indicate infections or blood disorders that this panel would detect. Even without symptoms, regular screening is important for fighters due to the blood-contact nature of combat sports.

How can I maintain my health as a fighter?

Prioritize recovery between training sessions with adequate sleep (7-9 hours nightly) and proper nutrition including lean proteins, complex carbs, and plenty of vegetables. Always use proper protective equipment during sparring to minimize blood contact and injury risk. Stay hydrated, manage your weight safely without extreme cutting, and get regular medical screening especially before competitions. Build a relationship with a sports medicine doctor who understands combat sports and can monitor your long-term health.

What does the Complete Blood Count check for?

The CBC measures your red blood cells (which carry oxygen to your muscles), white blood cells (which fight infections), hemoglobin (oxygen-carrying protein), and platelets (which help blood clot). For fighters, this is crucial because low red blood cells or hemoglobin (anemia) can cause dangerous fatigue and poor performance in the ring. Low platelets or clotting problems could lead to excessive bleeding from cuts during a fight, which is why athletic commissions require this test for safety.

How often should fighters get retested?

Most state athletic commissions require this screening annually when you renew your fighter's license, though some states may require testing within a specific timeframe before each fight (often 30-90 days). Even if you're between fights, it's wise to get screened annually to monitor your health and be ready when opportunities arise. If you've had any potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens during training or competition, consider retesting sooner to ensure your safety and that of your training partners.
