Hello doctor. My husband has hepa b, we had unprotected intercourse for the first time since we found he has hep b one year ago. How long shall i wait to take blood test, to find accurate result if im infected or not? Thank you for your kindness. Regards
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor ... I can understand your concern... You are knowing your husband having hepatitis b, so you should take precaution during sex to avoid infection.... Anyway now after five to six weak take your blood in red vac cute and send to lab for serological testing of hepatitis B antigen detection using ELISA test.... And if you come negative after repeated tester than take hepatitis b vaccine at 0,1 and six months to be protected... (although after vaccination your title should be checked)Try to avoid contact with your husband secretion until you are protected by vaccine and avoid sharing of object like toothbrush... If you come bag positiver than protocol is different... You can post your report and can ask further doubt If you have. Take care
