I Am A Man Who Has Sex With Men And

Question: I am a man who has sex with men and I recently found out that I've lost my immunity to hepB but I'm in the process of getting re-vaccinated. In the meantime, I know that using condoms when having sex is a preventative measure but I wanted to know if oral sex without any form of protection would be considered safe? Thank you.

Oral sex has low risk of transmission of hepatitis b but not anal oral.
