So I think I might have had contact with someone who has hep b. I didn't sleep with him but he gave me oral sex. (i am a girl) I am vaccinated and as of last year i was immune to it. How long do I have to wait to be tested? Also when the vaccine runs out in say 15 yrs am I going to get it? Could it just be "sitting in my body?"

I don't think they make a vaccine for updating on this, so once you get the 3 shots, then theoretically, you are immune to hep b for life. You should be okay. Get tested if you want to ease your mind. Here are some links on hep b info..

more than likely, you won't hep b. you're pretty much safe if you have had the vaccination. as far as i know, i don't think hep b can be contracted through saliva. maybe next time, i'd suggest some sort of lubricant between you and the guy's mouth (?)

for the record...in most cases if sex is in the title of the act being done a disease can be transmitted...its less likely to get a std through oral but the odds still aren't ones good enough to go with out protection...ease your mind get tested...

If you've had the vaccine you should be ok. I really wouldn't worry unless you have symptoms of something being wrong.
