HbsAg test negative on 80th day after exposure. Status is unknown of her.
Today is 95th day.
Can I take it conclusive or am I free from hepatitis B?

Question

After exposure to Hepatitis B Virus, there is an incubation period of 1 to 4 months before it will show in blood test. You have got testing done at around 12 weeks. Instead of getting HBsAg testing again after 4 weeks you can wait for 6-8 weeks to get yourself tested. Hepatitis B can cause acute and chronic hepatitis. Acute hepatitis B is a clinical syndrome indistinguishable from other acute hepatitides and often consists of a flulike syndrome with malaise, fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and right upper quadrant discomfort. Physical signs include jaundice and pain over region of enlarged liver (tender hepatomegaly). The likelihood of developing icteric illness is inversely proportional to age. I hope this was helpful.
