Is there a possibility of acquiring Hep B if you're already a sexually active individual? No multiple partners, just me and my boyfriend? We're having unprotected sex atleast twice a month but I use pills. Is it okay?

If your partner is not infected with hep B at hindi din sya sexually promiscuous, meaning iakw lang ang sexual partner nya, malayong ikaw ay mainfect ng hep B.
