A member asked:
Can you get hepatitis b if someone is bleeding and touches a doorknob and then you touch the doorknob and you have a cut on your finger?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, never through contact with a contaminated environment. Only by direct intimate contact or blood exchange. And also no risk if you have been vaccinated.

No, hepatitis B is not transmitted in above mentioned circumstances, as from inanimate surfaces. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding hepatitis B transmission.
