Window Period

Does Hep B has a window period like HIV for 3 months? And if yes what is it?

The incubation period is usually anywhere from 30 days to 180 days.  However, it can be detected in the blood earlier.  A 4-6 week test after possible exposure is very accurate.  

A 3 month Hep B test is not as conclusive as a 3 month HIV test, but pretty close and one should be satisfied with a 3 month negative result.

What do you mean by window period? I've never held of Hep B having a window period before.
