Depends: Both hepatitis B and C can be transferred via blood, or bodily fluids. Now if a patient has finished antiviral therapy they should be tested to see if they are still infected by checking antibodies. Only then can you be more confident that you will not be infected. Please see a doctor for more answers and testing of you and your partner. Good luck.

It depends: Factors include HBeAg status (i.e., duration antiviral treatment in HBeAg negative patients is not clear and may require years & years). Also, vaginal fluid viral load may be higher than blood viral load, so a negative blood viral load test finding would not tell the whole story. Was your partner vaccinated for HBV? I would recommend using condom in future unless told otherwise by your physician.
