Thank you. One more questions, what are the basic symptoms of HBV?  Is slight redness on white part of eyes a sign?

If the act was not done, then don't and your risk is zero.

If the act was done and you felt you were exposed to HBV, watch for symptoms and get tested 1 to 2 months from that date.  Because you are an adult when exposed, you have 90% chance of clearing HBV and be immune.
