i am just afraid

i was diagnosed to have a hepa b when i was pregnant with my first daughter. i was shocked when the doctor told me i am infected. i was in great denial because i dont have any symptoms of any kind. i have been perfectly active in doing my work and other household chores. it has been two years since i was diagnosed and still i remain passive in treating my disease. my husband was tested and he was non reactive and he was vaccinated while he was a child.  i am just afraid to consult a doctor. i think i need somebody to tell me to do it. on the other hand,we are five living in our house. my baby was already vaccinated right after her birth.  my husband, his brother and sister who have been lving with us were also vaccinated while they were young but still i am worried. i have had my own utensils but we use the same bathroom and share the kitchen sink for brushing teeth. sometimes my gums bleed while i brush my teeth and i also have my menstruation every month. is there still any possiblity that they will get infected by me despite their vaccination?

I think once they have been vaccinated and reacted by producing the required antibodies then there is no possibility of them being infected. I suggest you for a retest, Hepatitis be can be cleared naturally by the immune system, go for test and please cut the anxiety, it will do you more harm tham good.
