If I didn't before, it was because a specialist told me that I only needed to be careful with the sex part, and use a condom. I thought the rest was risk free. Now I'd like to have a specialist's point of view on the matter of Oral sex before taking any other decision.

OK....I am going to be somewhat blunt, but honestly, you need it.
It took me less than ten seconds to find this:
How Is Hepatitis B Transmitted?
The Hepatitis B virus is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact such as through blood transfusions, semen donation or through sexual intercourse with an infected person. Today with excellent screening of blood and semen, the most common route of blood-to-blood contact is through the sharing of needles by injecting drug users, who may not know they are infectious. Health workers are also at risk through accidental needle stick injuries. There are a number of other less obvious ways the virus can be transmitted:
* Oral sex, especially swallowing semen from an infected person, may transmit hepatitis B.
* Sharing toothbrushes or razors with an infectious person may spread the disease.
* Women who are carriers may infect their babies before or at birth.

How long have you been typing the replys in here. If indeed you neglected to tell her you were infected, and she becomes a carrier....You are going to be so freakin Karmically impaired as to be cursed.
I would also like to point out one thing....if by chance, this was my Daughter you had infected....HepB would be the least of your worries.
