Hepatitis B can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
HBV is found in transmittable levels in saliva.
It is transmitted through contact with the blood and body fluids of someone who is infected with HIV spreads. Yet hepatitis B is nearly 100 times as infectious as HIV.
Most people infected as adults recover fully from hepatitis B.

Do you have symptoms of HBV infection?

Most people however do recieve the hep B immunisation, now it is given at birth and has been for the last 20 odd years. Have you not been immunised against it?
