Have you been vaccinated for HAV? If so, you will have antibodies.

HAV infection is spread through food or water that has been contaminated by the feces (stool) of an infected person.

IgM anti-HAV antibodies indicate a recent infection with hepatitis A virus. IgM anti-HAV antibodies generally can be detected in the blood as early as 2 weeks after the initial HAV infection. These antibodies disappear from the blood 3 to 12 months after the infection.


i would say get tested for all stds and a final hiv test 84 to 90 after last exposure
