You seem to be a responsible person to have protected sex. So there shouldn't be too much to worry.

HBV is not that scary at all. Even if you contracted it, you can naturally remove it at very high percentage, even without vaccination. (vaccines are not very effecient for long term anyway).

It is fascinating that you talk about life expectancy. My opinion is you might even live much longer if you have this virus. As you start to take care of yourself, you lead healty life style, you avoid alcohol, avoid smoking etc. So, it is not necessarily a bad thing to get the virus. So my advice is RELAX.

Adults clear hbv by immune system and no treatment is needed or authorized on acute hbv because immune system will clear it

hbv makes no damage to us, it is immune system of some chronic carriers to make damage in a life time.usually after 45-50yo after carrying the virus from birth.treatments will block the virus from making damage but are prescribed only if liver develops damage
