Hepatitis B possibility???

2021-02-06 18:45:58
I pierced my ears with a safety pin when I was 16, 5 years ago. I did not sanitize it. There was no blood or any other liquid on it and it looked clean. Is there any way I could contract Hepatitis because of this? I did not get any infection after this incident, didn't fall sick etc. I cannot get tested right now and I'm panicking. Please help. Thank you.
