Diagnosed w. Gonorrhea - concearned w. Hepatitis

3 days ago I came back from 12 day vacation in Asia where I had unprotected oral sex with female sex worker. The unprotected oral sex was followed by vaginal intercourse with condom. I did not wipe off her saliva before putting the condom on. In the morning I noticed that the white part of her eyes was actually yellow... This happened on my first day there – 14 days ago from today. 4 to 5 days after the event I noticed discharge from my penis and burning while urinating. On the first day of my return (the day before yesterday) I was diagnosed w. gonorrhea and given antibiotic shot and pills in the local STD clinic. The test for HIV, Syphilis, and Herpes came back negative.

My questions:
1. Should I be concerned with possible Hepatitis B or C infection?
2. Can I reduce a chance of getting Hepatitis B by getting a shot of Hepatitis B vaccine now 14 days after possible exposure?
3. What is the earliest time I can get tested for Hepatitis?
