A member asked:
A girl friend of mine told me that she has hepatitis b but that she got it non sexually? how can people catch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various ways...: Hepatitis b is spread through blood, semen, or another body fluid. This can happen through sexual contact with an infected person or sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment. It has also been reported to be spread by the sharing of razors or toothbrushes. Mother to child transmission can occur during pregnancy.
