HEP transmission question....

by dredded, Aug 19, 2008 11:28AM
Hi,
I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I am a little concerned about a sexual act I participated in. My question is; is it possible to catch hep if you ere to finger a girls' vagina and anus and then at some point contacted your mouth? And what if your face came in close contact with the vagina and anus, but never touched it directly? Again if this is a dumb question I am sorry, but I do not know much about these things. Are there other infections/viruses I could have contracted this way? Thank-you for your help and advise.

Not a dumb question.

Your chance of getting infected by Hep B is low but there.

Have your HBsAg and anti-HBs tested 3 months or so from exposure and watch for possible symptoms.

Best.

Thanks cajim
Question on symptoms.....Are they typically persistent and more than one at a time? I am at 10 weeks post encounter and I have had some mild fatigue, headaches and a sore neck and back. No noticable jaundice, no diarhea (diarrhea), no dark urine or clay colored stools. I will add that I have been extremely stressed about the whole thing as I am married and it was a huge regrettable mistake, First time other than with my wife. I have extreme guild and possible anxiety. My symptoms may be associated with that...not sure . Your thoughts? I did receive a blow job during the same encounter and tested neg at 3.5 weeks for syph, gon, chlam, and hiv. I tested for hiv again at 7.5 and still...thank God was neg. Thanks again for your thoughts and advice. It means a real lot.
