Should I get tested even though I have no symptoms? What are the conditions or chances I am asymptomatic to HepaB?

so you're saying that I don't really have it and that I should get tested to slam the negative test on my face so I'd be relaxed? Or I have a slim chance i got it?

Honestly I think you have a phobia more than anything from all your posts.  I think that is what needs to be addressed first. Just get tested to put your mind at ease.

I read your journal. It seems like the more you know the more it scares you. Even when you learned that 95% of Hep B cases spontaneously resolve due to immune response you immediately started thinking, "what if I'm in the 5% group?".

You're looking for something to worry about rather than for something to relieve worry.

You're chances of having caught anything are very low. There is only one way to know for sure. Get tested. The incubation period can be up 3 months for hep b, it's also long enough for HIV antibodies to form.

Seek counseling for the STD phobias.

I really doubt you caught anything in 30 sec of oral sex.  But just put your mind at ease and just get tested.  It's been about 2 months so most of the tests should be 90 percent or more accurate at this point.
