A member asked:
How soon after exposure to hepatitis a, b, c does it take for it to show up in blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Viruses: Viral tests for antibodies to either of the three main hepatitis strains can take three months or more to show up. There are more expensive tests if your liver is in acute trouble and you are jaundiced. If you are in any way ill and/or have jaundiced you need to be seen by a trusted medical advisor.
