Risks of Hep from oral sex

This incident happened just over 7 weeks ago and lasted no more than a minute - I am from the UK if it makes a difference.

Three days after the exposure I started to experience a burning pain during and after urinating and a constant itch.  I went to my local GUM clinic where I was tested for Gonorehea, Chlymidia, syphillis and HIV: all returned with a negative test.  However, the test did return a diagnosis of an NSU/UTI and I received antibiotics (4 tablets to be taked right away) and told if the itch returned to report back to the GUM clinic.

Needless to say at weeks 4-7 after exposure my itch has returned.  I went to the Clinic at week & and received another swab test, I get the results on Monday, and I was issued with another course of antibiotics (dyoxciline? 100mg in the morning and the same at night for 2 weeks.)

From reading the forum, which is great by the way, I understand the chances of me catching Syphillis, HIV and Herpes is small. (I have had no blisters, sores or redness on my penis so I assume I am in the clear with these.)  However, I am unsure what my risks are for HEP.  From reading the forum it seems unlikely but I just want to be sure and to find out what symptoms etc I should look out for.

Also, for the past four weeks my eyes have been incredibly itchy with a burninga sensation is this related to anything?

I am going back to the clinic in three weeks, 10 weeks after exposure, for another check up for the NSU/UTI thing and to see how I have got on with the latest treatment of antibiotics, but should I ask for any further testing and if so what should I ask for?

Your thanks in anticipation.

Your symptoms did not match those for HBV exposure.  Testing is more accurate.
