No coinfection with hepatitis does not prolong the window period. No not all people have symptoms with acute hepatitis.

Can a coinfection with hepatitis prolonge the window period? I have read that only an acute infection could prolonge the window period. Would you hav symptoms if you had acute hepatits?
