Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Hepatitis B can be transmitted by Sexual Encounter with the infected person.
Also with contaminated blood.
If you had no relationship with him till now, there are very less chances that you would have contracted Hepatitis B.
Get HbSAg tested.
If you are negative, then get Vaccinated for Hepatitis B.
This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us.
Stay Healthy
