Hepatitis B through receiving oral sex
I'm a guy met a random guy on internet & then we hoooked up. he gave me unprotected licks on my penis & I did the same but I sukced his penis with condom on. I was also a receptive partner in a protected non penetrative anal sex,he kept on thrusting on my anus but didn't penetrate & he had the condom on all this while.
is it possible to get HCV through receiving a few licks on my penis from him? he was of my age in mid 20s . I gave him protected blowjob & we had a protected non penetrative anal . I'm worried about HCV. please help.

Low risk so don't worry. But avoid these practices. Transmission depends on viral load of the infected person. I have seen cases of non-transmission even after regular sex since the infected person has low viral load. I feel, infected person having viral load exceeding 20000 iu/ml (HBV DNA TEST) has high chances of transmitting during regular sex.

thank you kaatot , I wanted to know about the hep A & hep C as well, are they transmissiable through this encounter?
HBV & HCV ...yes but in your case low risk, almost no...HAV...i don't think so...
one last question . i know im bothering u ..should i go for the test for HBV & HCV?
No harm in HBV test...at least you will be sure about your next steps ...all the best
& should I also get tested for HCV?
the same goes for HCV
thank u so much for ur time mate,now I'll get tested for HBV & HCV & forget about about HAV.
Just in case you've not done it already, please get vaccinated against hep.B. This disease doesn't yet have a cure, but if you are vaccinated you will be protected from future exposures to the virus.
If all the world population were vaccinated against hep.B, the disease could have been history long ago. It is a pity people suffer from this disease against which an effective vaccination exists since 1982.

should I get tested for other STIs . it's been 17 months & my HBV,HCV & HIV results came negative after 6 months since the exposure but now all of a sudden I'm worried about the other STIs like gonorrhea,Herpes,Syphilis,Chlymadia etc. Please help!
I have read somewhere that I could get a false negative result for syphilis after such a long duration since the exposure. please help.

"Oral sex doesn’t transmit hepatitis B. True or False?
True, but it’s complicated. There are no confirmed reports of hepatitis B infection resulting from oral sex, but there’s still a risk for infection. If you have a high viral load (HBV DNA), you may still be putting partners at risk of infection if they have bleeding gums, mouth sores, or anything that increases the likelihood of infectious fluids entering their bodies. Bottom line, oral sex has a lower risk of spreading hepatitis B than other sexual practices, but some risk remains. And don’t forget, other sexually-transmitted infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis are spread through oral sex. Using a condom or dental dam reduces infection risk."
Hope this helps.

I recieved the oral sex,he gave me a few licks . what is my risk then?
Very low as you were at the receiving end - it really depends on his hbv dna load, amount of saliva if you had any openings in your penis, I doubt it can occur this way. I think it's considered unlikely.
thank you itac , I wanted to know about the hep A & hep C as well, are they transmissiable through this encounter?
