She had better know about your HepB BEFORE you even THINK about reaching that point.
When it says "unprotected sex" in the literature, that means oral, vaginal, anal, etc.--ANY kind of contact where your penis makes contact with another person.
Here is a worst-case scenario for you adminstering oral sex to another person: You go down, decide not to use a dental dam, and have a cut in your mouth or on your lip. While going down, the cut comes open and you start to bleed a little. Your partner, in turn, has an abrasion on her vulva she hasn't told you about. Voila, you just gave your partner HepB.
Another scenario: You touch yourself while giving your girl oral. You go to finger her, and you still have your own precum on your hands. There is an abrasion in her vaginal wall you don't know about. Good job, sport--you just gave her HepB.
Shoot, you share a toothbrush and one or both of you has gingivitis...you just gave her HepB.
Vaginal and vulvar injuries and abrasions are not uncommon, and the vagina is a pretty welcoming environment for outside predators at times. These are worst-case scenarios, but they ARE NOT OUTSIDE THE REALM OF POSSIBILITY.
And won't you feel great when your girlfriend or a former sex partner comes to you and says, "Thanks for giving me HepB"?
