A member asked:
If my lymphocyte count is low, are two years enough to pick up a possible hiv, hcv and hepatitis b infections after a possible exposure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: All three seroconvert (show detectable antibodies) in a few weeks; six months at the very longest. You're fine.
