Hi There I Am Just Wondering What Are The Chances
Question: Hi There
I am just wondering what are the chances of contracting Hep B via deep kissing?, i had an encounter 7 weeks ago, since than i have been having lots of joint pain in fingers and toes
I did a hep b test at 4 weeks it came back negative
I did another at 6.5 weeks it came back negative
I am just wondering if i did have an active infection, would 6.5 weeks be enough to show a detected result?
or do i need to wait longer?
regards XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
no need to repeat testing in future...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, Hep. B infection does not transmit through deep kissing.
Hep. B infection usually transmits through blood and sexual intercourse. So no need to repeat testing in future.
For joint pain, I would suggest you to consult with physician for detailed clinical examination. Meanwhile, you can take tablet motrin 400 mg three times a day or sos.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further....
