A member asked:
Could i have the std hepatitis b from dry humping with my clothes off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepatitis B: Nope. Hepatitis B is not transmitted from clothing, inanimate objects, saliva or skin. It has to be directly transmitted from semen or blood to your blood. Your skin is a perfect barrier to this virus as well. You cannot get Hepatitis B through touch.
