it is rare to have syntoms of hbv, the most (when adult) clear the virus without any knowledge.
even early cirrhosis or liver cancer usually have no syntoms and when they have it is too late...(most of the deadly illnesses have no syntoms)
just make the vaccine and take immune golbulins as soon as possible after that make hbsag test (hbsag is the first antigen present in the blood), you have 15-180 days before you get hepatitis if the virus could get in your liver, by immune globulins you stop the virus for sometime and by vaccine you are 100% sure you will never develop a cronic hepatitis

No nausea is a symptom of many things, not just hep b.  I noticed that you asked about hbv in semen before.  How long ago was the incident.  

It's hard to diagnose stds just by symptoms alone because symptoms can be related to many other things including anxiety and stress.

Only a blood test is for sure.
