Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Hepatitis B can be transmitted by Sexual Intercourse.
But good news is that you have got Vaccination done. In that case i would advise you to get the following:
1. Anti HbS Levels- this would tell the level of protection you have.
2. HBsAg- would tell if you already have Hepatitis B.

In case your levels are low, and HBsAg is negative, get vaccinated again.
And in future you should use condoms during sex.
Also, ask your partner to get proper treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
