Worried I may have Hep B

[B623]

I had protected and a little unproteted sex with an unknown female and have been experiencing some strange symptoms which I thought may be due to hepatitis.  I had just a couple of questions regarding the testing and how you can get hep B.

1.)  How long must you wait to get tested for Hep B?  I was tested just 10 days after my exposure and was wondering if that was enough time for an accurate result?

2.) I did have the series of vaccines for hep B which ended 10 years ago so I'm sure I'm not as safe from preventing the virus because it has been so long.  Do you know how often you should receive vaccinations?

3.)  Can you get Hep B from a ******** or any form of oral sex?

Thanks for your help

Thanks so much for the help....

One more question.

Are nose bleeds a symptom or sign of hepatitis B or even A and C?  I used to get them all the time but it pretty much stopped.  Recently I have been getting them almost everyday and every time i blow my nose there is a little blood.  

Thanks

--What were your test results?  If you were HBsAB positive you could not get HBV

2.) I did have the series of vaccines for hep B which ended 10 years ago so I'm sure I'm not as safe from preventing the virus because it has been so long.  Do you know how often you should receive vaccinations?

--For most people, one series is enough for a life time.

3.)  Can you get Hep B from a ******** or any form of oral sex?

--Possibility exists though low.
