from being infected, because i am a virgin
and the condom may break.

protection or high quality condoms which
wont break?
thank you

I am sorry to hear your health problem.
The first thing you need to ask your
boyfriend is if he had HB shots. I would
think he did in the first few months of
his life if he was born in this country.
If so, there is nothing for you to worry
about. Condom is still a good idea for
other STD. He sould be immune from
hypertitas B.
My hubby has HB. We found that out when
we were married for 8 years. I was
pregnant at the time of discovery.
Imagine that. Two lifes were in question.
Luckily I didn't catch it from him
although we had sex for 8 years. I had
three rounds of HB shots as soon as the
baby was born. The baby had three rounds
of shots too. We are immuned for life.
We don't use proctection when we have
sex.

That was a good answer.
The only thing I want to add is- you being
a virgin has nothing to do with how you
can catch or transmit STD's.

Totally agree. Many people have HB don't
know how they got it including my hubby.
He was a virgin when we were married and
never strayed (I 100% believe in him).
The common theory is blood transfusion by
mosquitoes.
Anyway, the reasons are not important in
your and my relationships. The important
thing is protect yourself and your loved
ones. Wear protection or celibate until
you are totally sure both of you are safe
to each other.

Thank you for your advices. The thing is
that he has not had the shots yet and he
is going to have it soon. I just wondered
what if we have sex before he is
immune...
Julia, in your case you are lucky. but as
i know if man is infected it does not
transmit to women easily, but if wonem has
HB then its the opposite...
Even using condom is still risky i guess
as it may break, especially when having
sex with a virgin, like i am.
What u think about this?

From what I know of sexually transmitted
diseases, it is harder for a man to catch
from a female no matter what it is.
Secondly, being a virgin does not make a
condom more likely to break. It's all
about using it correctly.

Personally, knowing that Hep. B is
preventable once he gets the shots, I'd
stay away from sex until I knew he was
safe.

Personally I would stop having sex.
That's what we did. Life is a lot more
important than having a few moments of
high. We didn't have any sex for about a
year until I gave birth and got my second
shot. According to the doctor, after the
second shot it's safe to have sex. The
third one is a booster. My husband found
out HB because he tried to take a life
insurance policy to protect me and the
baby. What's better than stop sex to
protect both of us. If you love him and
don't want to have regrets later, don't
have sex now. As a virgin, it's probably
not that hard to calibate.

Thanks again!
Julia, I totally agree with you. but I am
little confused, because according to the
doctor i went to, he said its safe to have
sex after 3 shots, when the immune system
is ready.... may be he was not competent
enough...
are u sure two shots are enough and safe
to have sex?

always trust the doc.

"Two shots is safe" is what my doctor told
me at the time. I would check with your
doctor again. Listen to your doctor, not
me though. Maybe ask the doctor to do a
blood test after two shots to see if the
Hep B antibody is active or not. Once
it's active enough, it's safe.
After 7 years, I ask my doctor every
couple of years to run blood test to see
if the antibody is still active. If it
weakens, I need a booster. If the shots
were given at birth, it stays strong
through life, but since I got it at 31, I
was told it's only good for 7 years. But
after 12 years, my antibody is still
strong.

Please don't post in all caps.
Hep B is NOT just transmittable by sex, so
there are many ways the Original Poster
could have contracted it. However, it is
also transmittable by sex as they stated,
so they wanted help on how to prevent
transmission.
