Hep b concern for child

So I've been on this site a good amount lately with concerns about my previous relationship. In recent contact with my ex I have found out some alarming news... He has been diagnosed with both hep b and c, and thus the following question :

I have a daughter and while she was never in the room while we had inter course im still afraid she could have come into contact with fluids after the fact on my sheets or linens before they were washed. Is hepatitis b transmitted that way? She has been vaccinated but I do not know if she had all of her shots at that time or not...

Please help I am terrified she is my whole world.

You need a fresh open wound for the virus to enter, no way of getting it that way

Absolutely not, both hbv and hcv

hbv may be spread sharing toothbrushes, razors or tolls in bathrooms

hcv only by blood

To know for sure take her to do the hepititis test and they will tell you if she is imune. None of our members here can give you the peace of mind on this question. Please go and do the test and more than likely she is ok.
