Hepatatis B with Condom
Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to post my question. I recently had sex with a CSW using condom. What are chances of me getting Hep B virus. I read that condoms are not proven in preventing Hep B. Should I be worried. I think I need to get Hep B vaccinated ASAP.
- Thanks

I guess hep B virus mostly exists in blood, vaginal fluids and to some extent in saliva also. did you receive unprotected oral sex? it could be risky, but I believe that not possible to get hepatitis B if you use a condom properly. U got any sources? Would like to have a look...
It isn't the right form, but since it's already here I'll answer it. Hep B is indeed easier to transmit than HIV, but the condom use reduces the risk significantly. However, you might want to get a baseline Hep B screening (HB core and surface antigens). Your health provider should know more.
