Please help, quite upset about this.

Last night I had unprotected sex with a girl who was menstruating and today she informed me that she is a carrier of Hepatitis B.

She claimed her type is very hard to pass onto another person. She said there's a risk - but it's tiny.

Clearly I am concerned, disappointed and going to get tested right away...

However, while I am waiting does anybody know what she is talking about when she says "her type is very hard to pass onto another person". Is there indeed a type / level of Hepatitis B that almost certainly can't be transmitted? Is that what Wikipedia is referring to when, talking about transmission of the disease, it says that "at least 30% of reported hepatitis B among adults cannot be associated with an identifiable risk factor..."

Please help, quite upset about this.

before making lab tests you must absolutely make vaccine first as fast as possible and immune globulins after you see doctor
make test as the last thing since vaccine and immune globulins may save you from infection if you have it and if you don't have it they are good anyway since make no harm

you don't need tests first because if positive vaccine and immune globulin will be useless (i don't know how many days you have after exposure for these ones to work), so make vaccine first and after that make tests with 1 day result (hbsag test)
