Hepatitis B fear from mutual oral and brief penis/vulva brushing

Hepatitis B fear from mutual oral and brief penis/vulva brushing

Dear Doctor,
I am a man and gave oral sex to a woman and she to me five days ago. I briefly brushed my penis on her vulva during the proceedings. It was not an attempt at penetration, just a brush by.
The next day the thin skin membrane connecting my tongue to the floor of my mouth was sore and appeared irritated due to the previous night's activity.
During our encounter there was no blood present.
She is a 37 year old Balinese woman living in NY and she has an intact hymen, truly, a virgin in that sense. True.
She claims not to have HBV but I am now terrified due to where she comes from and that she's spent time in other 3rd world countries as a yoga teacher. Are my staggering hepatitis B fears warranted?
Please answer if you can.
Thank you,
Brian B

Hepatitis B's incubation period depends from a few weeks to as long as 6 months, so if you suspect that you MAY have been exposed to it go to the doctor and take the HBSAG and HBSAB titre tests and get vaccinated at the same time.

Also, adults that are exposed to it have a 90-95% chance of clearing the infection after a few months thanks to the fully developed immune system, while infants that are exposed to it only have 5-10% chance of clearing it and thus becoming chronic carriers of the disease.

The highest concentrations of HBV can be found in the blood, though other body fluids also has it like semen, vaginal fluids, saliva, but has significantly lower amounts. A CHB person's HBEAG status also plays a role on his/ her infectivity rate.

Just go to the doctor and have yourself vaccinated
