Can we have oral sex?
I've been a Chronic Hepatitis B carrier. I am dating a girl who was vaccinated 5 years ago but was never checked for immunity. We would like to start having sex and we plan to use condoms. However, would unprotected oral sex be okay?
There have never been any confirmed cases of HepB being transmitted via oral sex: https://www.hepb.org/blog/much-really-know-sex-hepatitis-b-take-quiz-find/
That doesn't mean the risk doesn't exist. It's up to her to decide whether the risk is negligible enough. Another option is for her to have her titers checked, to see if she is already immune to HepB via vaccination.
