question on viral load of certain body fluids

I know that blood has the highest concentration, now i would like to ask if there is a study on what are the viral load of the ff fluids

Semen
Saliva

The reason im askin is that i read somewhere that there is a certain threshhold before one gets infected of a certain disease, meaning that even if someone gets exposed with hbv it doesnt automatically mean he/ she gets infected. And hbv is higly contagious.

Stefano? Ur thoughts?
