This issue is very complicated and should be considered carefully. You can discuss this decision with an HIV counselor, a sexual assault counselor, your health care provider, or an attorney. Keep in mind that the best source of information about whether you have been infected with HIV is for you to be tested yourself. HBV is a virus that primarily attacks the liver. The virus can affect people differently.
Some people only get a mild sickness.
Others can become very sick and die. Like HIV, HBV is not spread by casual contact. It is not caught from objects and surfaces touched by people who are infected. HBV can also be spread through saliva. It is easier to get HBV than HIV because when someone has HBV, there is more of it in the blood.
