Finally I saw a doctor yesterday who prescribed comprehensive blood tests, others just treated my various symptoms.I was petrified when I saw that he wants to test me for Hepatitis B which is transmitted ONLY by body fluids. Maybe he's just trying to exclude it?I have never cheated on my partner (we've been together for 15 years), I don't inject anything. If I get a positive result, not only do I have to deal with the virus itself but with HOW I got it.I trust my husband. All of this is just too weird. I don't know what to think.First of all I'd like him to get tested for his sake... So, even though I may be worrying for nothing... How do I approach this subject with him in case that I am positive? I don't know which is worse me thinking that he could have cheated or him thinking that I could have cheated.I just don't know how else I could have gotten it, if I have it at all...

I won't know till Monday afternoon. So yes... I am panicking for no reason yet.
And if the test comes back positive... I'll find a way to tell him.
I work in an office and have no contact with blood.
I suffer from an autoimmune disease, which prevents me from giving blood and I have to have my hormones checked 3-4 times a year. So I have a needle in my arm at least 3 times a year, sometimes more. But it's not injecting and it's sterile in a well-known lab.

 Too early to panic yet. It sound rather routine. Hopefully not, but if it was a positive result could it be possible to have contracted something like this through being in contact with contaminated blood. Something as innocent as performing first aid without gloves or though your line of work?

 Okay I think you are beginning to panic for no reason at all. Take a deep breathe. This is a standard thing to look for, therefore it does not mean that the doctor thinks you have it, he is probably just ruling out a lot of different possibilities.
I am sure you won't have to wait to long now for your blood results, but if you have worries I am sure that you can talk to your partner about what you saw, tell him it worried you and maybe he can reassure you that he has been faithful. I know it is scary, but really checking for it does not mean that the doctor thinks that you have it. Please try not to worry until you get the results. But do talk to your partner, he should be there for you as someone to talk to.
