Male offspring: Hello! How long is the incubation period of hepatitis B? How long can you rule out infection after being pricked by a needle?

The incubation period of hepatitis B refers to six weeks to six months before the symptoms of hepatitis B appear within one week after the hepatitis B virus enters the human body. Because there are no obvious symptoms in the incubation period of hepatitis B, it is not easy to be found.

If you encounter the risk of hepatitis B virus infection in other places, you can use hepatitis B immunoglobulin alone. For example, when doctors, nurses and inspectors are treating hepatitis B surface antigen carriers, their fingers are accidentally punctured by the needle tip, so the blood of hepatitis B virus may enter the body through skin trauma. In this case, hepatitis B immunoglobulin 1 should be injected immediately (within12 hours) and injected again after1month to prevent infection.
