 You need to find out more about the hepatitis B infection. If he has new or chronic infection, the infection can be spread by sex. Although hepatitis B can be found in saliva, there are no good data to prove that this is a route of transmission. We do advise though not sharing utensils, toothbrushes, razors as a precaution. You should be vaccinated if your boyfriend has new or chronic infection. | ||||||||
