Is a negative test 3 months post hepatitis c exposure conclusive? do i need a repeat 6 months post exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Average incubation time for Hepatitis C is 6 weeks, however sometimes it takes up to 6 months. If you have been possibly exposed to it would recommend a repeat test at 6 months post exposure.
