Hep B... Am I at risk Jul 4, 2010 I just found out my partner was diagnosed with HepB. I have been vacinated probably in the last 10 years for Hep A, B and possibly C. Am I still at risk for contracting it from him? |

 For partners, I recommend testing your hepatitis B surface antibody to be certain that your antibodies are still at protective levels. If not, you should get a booster. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Hepatitis A is spread through contaminated food and water. | ||||||||
