Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
If you have no sexual relationship with him since he has got the infection, then chances are very less.
But you don't know since how long was he carrying the infection, he was detected in 2005, but he might be having this since long!
So, get tested, if you come out to be negative, get Hepatitis B vaccination immediately.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
