Hep B testing
What is an accurate time to have a antibody test for Hep B?
I have read on the CDC website that it is on average 4 weeks that it will show in your blood from exposure.
Ranges to 1-9 weeks.
But i was wondering of their are any real life situations regarding this from people on the forum.
I had a Hep B antibody test at 8 weeks which was NEG. Should i have another or am i ok?
Thanks

An 8 week neg puts you in very safe territory. I would suggest a final test at 13 weeks. If neg, and i believe it will be, stop worrying and stop testing.
Just wait a little longer, also some people respond to different brand of hep b vaccine.
