I am a male that recently received oral
sex from another male that i do not know.
I now am aware of the risk of std's
(herpes etc).
My question is what is the likelihood of
getting Hep B from receiving oral?

One way to get infected with HBV is oral
sex.

Depends if the person giving you oral sex
had tiny cuts in his mouth. As for herpes
if he had a cold sore the risk for you
getting genital herpes is very likely. Go
get screened for everything. And always
wear a condom, if you don't know someone
put a condom on before recieving oral sex.
Even if you know them you don't know
everybody that they have been with so you
should be more careful.

Yes it is not like aids and needs a
3-6month wait before showing up. You can
get tested now. I don't see why you are
stressing about hep b when it is cureable.
The two incureable diseases are Hiv and
Hep C.
