No risk: Hepatitis B virus is sexually transmissible, but actually not often sexually transmitted except between men having sex with men. It takes much more intimate contact that this to transmit the virus. Such superficial contact with vaginal fluid, even if the woman has HBV, is entirley risk free. Same for all STDs, including HIV. Don't worry about it. No sex means no risk.
