I recived oral sex and protected vaginal sex follwed by a flu like ilness at 6 weeks and now i just have a dull ache behind my ribs, i thought i was imunised and my titer in 2014 was 87uml clealry it dropped below that and i become infected. Im trying to find some hope in thinking im still protected by vacine antibodies. My blood was drawn yesterday for tests i feel sick that expsoure was not worth it.

Even if the virus is mutated, they should be able to detect it. So null worry for you about hepB. Remember unncecessary anxiety is bad for your health.

The sexual health clinic wont screen for antigen if you have had vacination and sufficient anti hbs my titer is 151. My core antibodies at 8 weeks was negative.

If your situation is like what you describe with 151mIU/ml anti-hbs titers, then absolutely nothing to worry about hepB. But, please remember there are many other std's and use protection when having sexual activities with strangers.

At least you need to wait until you get the results of your blood tests back. Worrying unnecessarily could also make you sick.
