| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 If the exposure was not sex, and did not involve blood like on a needle, then there is no exposure. See previous questions for HIV exposure data. Hepatitis is a generic term and only hepatitis A may be transmitted from person to person with sexual or blood contact. The incubation period of that is about 3-4 weeks and is usually a benign process which never becomes chronic. DTD | ||||||||
