Hepatitis B is transmitted the same way as HIV, however Hepatitis B is 100 times more infectious than HIV. If a condom breaks during intercourse, infection with Hepatitis B would be a possibility, even more so than HIV (assuming the partner is infected with either virus). The incubation period (when a person starts showing symptoms) for Hepatitis B is usually 45-180 days with an average of 60-90 days.
