Brief Answer:
Get your antibody titer levels checked
Detailed Answer:
Hi....thanks for consulting on health care magic.
Usually vaccine schedule for any vaccine should be completed at the first contact with the physician. That is, even if it was taken partially, the regular schedule should be completed as per the norms. So you did it right in getting the vaccination schedule completed.
Regarding your question whether you can sex with somebody who is hepatitis B positive - the best way to prove that you have full levels of immunity in the blood is to get anti hepatitis B antibody levels in you blood checked.
It is a simple test which is a definite proof of immunity.
