I am a male that recently received oral sex from another male that i do not know. I now am aware of the risk of std's (herpes etc).

My question is what is the likelihood of getting Hep B from receiving oral?

Depends if the person giving you oral sex had tiny cuts in his mouth. As for herpes if he had a cold sore the risk for you getting genital herpes is very likely. Go get screened for everything. And always wear a condom, if you don't know someone put a condom on before recieving oral sex. Even if you know them you don't know everybody that they have been with so you should be more careful.

Yes it is not like aids and needs a 3-6month wait before showing up. You can get tested now. I don't see why you are stressing about hep b when it is cureable. The two incureable diseases are Hiv and Hep C.
