You can get a vaccination against hep. b.

You can't get it from kissing - only sex, tattoos etc.

Most people get their Hep B vaccination at birth. You can go to the doctor and get a booster of you are that paranoid. You seek advice from your doctor, but until then, try and keep it G rated.

Simpe get vaccinated or if you think you have already had it (most people get it as a child) get a blood test and request hep B serology to confirm you have the antibodies.
If you do, your safe.
