Candida and HBV transmission



Is it possible that HBV was transmitted to me when taking off/putting on a condom (the condom was put on/off by a person whose HBV status I don’t know).
let me mention that at that moment I also had untreated chlamydia and candida on my penis and that the mucous membrane on my penis was inflamed, painful to the touch (probably I also had small microaccruals on the mucous membrane, although invisible to the eye)

Many thanks to people who spare their valuable time providing us with valuable information.
Warm greetings

Hi Marko,

First, see a venereologist and get rid of those infections—it’ll take a couple of weeks at most; the doctor will prescribe antibiotics based on your test results. The virus, however, is a different story. Good luck!

Hi @Marko_Ortiz,

It is unlikely that putting on or taking off a condom is sufficient to transmit HBV, as there needs to be some transfer of fluids. If the other person did not have any open wounds, the chances are minimal.

Hope this helps,
Thomas
