Hello thanks for your reply
I have been taking steriod blocks for my neck and had 2 shots within 3 months I am wondering if it is possible that the steriod block delayed my body from making anti-bodies. meaning that I could possible have either hep b or c and my body is taking much longer to develop anti-bodies since the test doesnt specifically look for the virus it self it only looks for the anti-bodies. Have there been cases where people tested positve for hep b or c outside the 6 month window. Many infectious doctors disagree with the CDC they say they are just using the a basic window period to keep the public from knowing the truth that people every day do test outside the 6 month window period. However some doctors are quacks everyone has different theories. I just hope the CDC is some what accurate.
I am curious - did your doctor check you out for ANYTHING ELSE?
Cause those are some interesting symptoms... and they could be medication caused or food caused as well.
If you're neg at 6 months - that's pretty darn conclusive.
Much luck to you - consider checking in with a second opinion or assistant doctor...

If you tested HepB negative, it just means you do not have HBV. It does not mean you are immune. If you are anti-HBs positive, it means you are immune.
Best.
No I tested negative for Hepatitis A, B and C
but is 6 months conclusive?
Do you have anti-HBs positive? If not you can get vaccinated to strengthen your immune system.
