I totally get it, asking about this can feel really awkward or stressful. Yes, it can be transmitted sexually, so please talk openly with your partner and get tested together.

Yes child, it spreads through physical relations. While keeping your immunity strong with good food is always good, only medical protection and vaccination can stop this virus.

Yes, sexual contact is a major route of transmission. Keep your body healthy with a clean diet, but remember that diet alone cannot prevent viral transmission; use barrier protection and get vaccinated.

When my partner tested positive, I was devastated and terrified of catching it. It took a lot of crying and talking to our doctor to realize that once I got vaccinated, we were completely safe. It's okay to feel scared, just take the right steps.

Yes, it's a sexually transmitted virus. Just like you protect your body from injuries in the gym, protect your sexual health by getting the Hep B vaccine. It's a lifesaver.
