as rivil pointed out this would better be asked of the HBV forum

This may be of interest :


Sometimes, if someone has been recently exposed to the hepatitis B virus, a doctor may recommend the vaccine and/or a shot of immune globulin containing antibodies against the virus to try to prevent the person from coming down with the disease. For this reason, it's especially important to see a doctor quickly after any possible exposure to the virus.

  I think if you had "protected sex", then there is no risk. Perhaps the other Posters misread this question, and thought you wrote "unproteced sex" ?

Hi everyone -

Let's leave the smart remarks out of it.  Jcuad asked a sincere question, and needs sincere answers.  

We are a support and info site, as you all know, and we can't do that well if people are afraid to ask questions for fear of ridicule.

If she as hep B a definite yes,if she as hep C there is a low risk,if she's HIV positive there is a low risk,herpes a definite yes, STD's is roll of the dice...dude get tested for everything and don't sit on public washroom toilet seats you might get pregnant....or maybe like nygirl7 said keep it in your pants and you won't get the ants.
