Has anyone ever been infected by Hepatitis B by their partner. My main symptoms are appetite loss? And I am concerned I may have got Hepatitis B?

I have had blood tests and they are saying I haven't had it but I am still concerned.

about 1 in 10 partners get infected HBV rather like the common cold has a high infectivity level when first caught, a partner is way more infectious via shared razors etc than sex. But hey you are talking about your partner, ask them if they are vaccinated or tested. for yourself transmission can come from many sources barbers, tattooes, unplastered wounds in public etc. Loss of appetite could be a 1000 things even doubting a partners faithfulness. If you have run a hbv risk get tested, but don't assume your partner has it and has infected you unless you have good reason. There again if you have never been tested it is always good to know remember 1 in 3 humans have caught hbv at some point, usually as children though
