Did you check for hepatitis B before vaccination? In all probability you were already positive at the time you took the vaccine. You need to check Hepatitis B DNA viral load. If it is high you might transmit the infection during sexual contact. If your sexual partner is vaccinated then the has negligible chance of getting the disease.
