Hepatitis B and cunnilingus?

I am wondering if Hepatitis B can be transmitted through saliva to the female gentials. I wish to perform cunnilingus on my wife but I'm not sure of the risks.

I'm the one with Hep B; not her.

Hi check with your doctor, has your wife been vaccinated for Hep B? If not might be a good idea to have her vaccinated. I have included some info for you and some links to look at if you wish.

Good luck and take care.

Hepatitis B - the facts

There are several viruses that can cause hepatitis and each virus is known by a letter in the alphabet, such as hepatitis B. All of the viruses cause similar problems, but they are spread in different ways.

Symptoms of hepatitis B
Some people have no symptoms at all, but for others the symptoms may include:

*Loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.
*Pain in the liver - this is felt under the right hand side of the ribcage.
*Fever.
*Pain in the joints.
*Jaundice - the urine becomes darker and the eyes and skin turn yellow.
*Tiredness.
How hepatitis B is spread
Hepatitis B can be spread by:

*Having sexual intercourse without a condom.
*Sharing needles, syringes and other injecting equipment.
*Sharing razor blades and toothbrushes.
*Piercing the skin with improperly cleaned and sterilised equipment.
*Infected blood coming into contact with the open cuts of an uninfected person.
Hepatitis B can also be passed from an infected mother to a baby before or after birth. Giving babies hepatitis B vaccine when they are born will help protect them from the disease. .

Chronic carriers
Although most people who catch hepatitis B recover completely and no longer have the virus in their bodies, some people have the virus in their bodies for their whole lives. These people are 鈥榗arriers鈥? Approximately 10 per cent of adults and 90 per cent of children who are infected with hepatitis B will become chronic carriers of the disease. These people often show no symptoms but they can infect others, even when they look and feel well. Carriers may eventually develop liver cancer or chronic liver disease.

Protecting yourself against hepatitis B
To help protect yourself against hepatitis B:

*Get immunised with hepatitis B vaccine.
*Use condoms for vaginal or anal sex.
*Oral sex is normally unlikely to spread hepatitis B, however, it is best to avoid oral sex if you or your partner has herpes, ulcers or bleeding gums.
*Do not share needles, syringes or other equipment (such as spoons, swabs and water) if you inject drugs.
*Wear disposable gloves when cleaning up blood or administering first aid.
If you think you have been exposed to hepatitis B, see your doctor immediately. You can be given treatment that may greatly reduce the risk of infection.

You can be immunised against hepatitis B
You need three injections to be fully immunised:

*The first two injections are given one month apart.
*The third injection is given five months after the second dose.
If you started the course of vaccinations but did not finish them you do not need to start again, just complete the other doses.

Side-effects are uncommon, but can occur soon after immunisation. They include fever, soreness at the injection site, nausea and joint pain.

Some people can be immunised for free
Hepatitis B immunisation is free for:

*All students in Year 7 at school.
*All babies born after 1 May 2001.
*Children up to ten years old who live in a household with a carrier.
*Children up to ten years old who belong to a population group that is known to have a high carrier rate.
*Injecting drug users via a needle and syringe program where there is a doctor or nurse vaccinator on site or from a methadone provider.
Who should be immunised
Immunisation is recommended for everyone and especially for:

*Injecting drug users.
*Health workers and others who come in contact with blood during their work.
*Workers (and residents) at facilities for people with an intellectual disability.
*Sexually active people.
*People with other medical conditions - for example, people with other forms of hepatitis or liver disease or people who receive medical treatment with blood products or who are on kidney dialysis.
*People living in high risk environments - for example, prisoners and people who share a house with an infected person.
*Travellers.

Oh thank God I'm gay and I don't have to worry about getting girl germs!

according to the doctors I have worked with , no. It can only be transmitted through shared needle use, or intercourse. Hope this helps you. I previously worked for a general practice office.
