...hepatitis, but should I be? I don't have sex (and never have), don't date, don't do drugs, and don't get blood transfusions. Am I at any real risk for either HIV or hepatitis?

You shouldn't worry. Everything you said you don't do are the risk factors. Relax!

[Rut]

You should be. These are incurable devastating illnesses. With your present lifestyle you have 0 percent risk of contracting either illness.The only people that you should date are person that you are serious about that share your same high standards. In other words, No sex before marriage. You will still have a 0 chance of contracting either disease.
