How easy is it to contract Hep B giving oral sex to a female who is menstrating.

Could someone please try to quantify the risk of contracting Hepatitis B from giving oral sex one time to  a female carrying Hep B that is menstruating? It was very foolish but I performed the act on someone I had met for the first time and now I am worried. It is very dumb but I simply did not realize at the time that it could be dangerous. I do not know that she has Hep B or not but I need to know what the risk of catching it is if she does. Only after did she realize that she had some blood. Very worried because I do not know her sexual past. My understanding is Hep C is relatively hard to get this way but that Hep B is a lot more contagious. I just would like to have a doctor address this question if possible.

On hbv yes. Go check yourself. Nobody can tell you if you contacted anything

Hello. Well that is scary. Could you explain what you mean when you say adults have a 90% chance to "clear" the virus? Do you mean that even if you contract the virus, there is a good chance your body can fight it and eliminate it....meaning 90% chance you will not be a carrier?

I think this question was posted already. The risk is very high . Go check the blood for aghbs. Adults have a chance to clear the virus somewhere around 90%

Also wanted to add that I brushed my teeth just prior to performing oral sex. I read somewhere that this increases the risk of acquiring diseases from performing oral sex.
