Dear Paul,
Thank you for the information that you sent through to me and the phone call. You were there when I was at a total loss.
I did hear from my doctor the following day who told me that I should go to the GUM clinic the following day for an accelerated course of the vaccine and to have a blood test. Speaking to the doctor there and then reading through the information that you sent me has worried though as it says that hep b can be transmitted through oral sex and also through the saliva of someone suffering from hep b entering an open wound on another person. As I mentioned to you I had a cold sore for quite some time when we were going out and this did bleed when he kissed me (silly I know as he could have got that from me but I did warn him!)
I went for the vaccination on Friday and had blood test then but the more reading I do and also as a consequence of the doctors reaction the more worried I am getting. Do you think that there is a chance that I could have been infected through the cuts on my hands or the cold sore?
Unfortunately the fear of all this did cause my boyfriend and I to have a big argument which I am afraid I did not deal with very well and he is not talking to me. I feel that it is my fear and ignorance around the disease that has caused this and feel absolutely terrible. My mother also found out through looking on my I-pad and has also made me ultra paranoid. I am sorry to write to you like this but I am very anxious and really just didn't know where else to turn.
Kind regards
