I just heard from a girl i had sex with 1-1/2 weeks ago, that the guy about 2 months before me she was with has hepatitis, but she didnt know what kind, or if it is even true. What is the likely hood of me contracting it 2 months later. She has had no symptoms i know about. and no... no protection. i know, i know. drinking can do terrible things to you.

I just need to know what is the likely hood... and what kind might it be that he has.

I hate saying yes, but yes. Go to a doctor and get checked. I'm not 100% if they can detect it this early, but go now and go back I'd say in a month, just to be safe. And of course ask the doctor about it.

I know the drinking things kinda sucks, that's why my fiancee has a 9yr old boy and his mother is nowhere in sight...
