Haan na, it definitely spreads through intercourse if one partner is infected. It is actually very important to use protection and make sure both partners are vaccinated. Do consult a doctor once to understand the vaccination schedule.

Yes, this virus spreads through close physical relations, so one must be very careful. While keeping the liver healthy with fresh amla and home-cooked meals is good, these cannot cure or prevent such serious infections. One must go to a hospital and get the proper vaccine injections.

Yes, transmission happens through intimate contact. While a good immunity through clean, wholesome vegetarian food keeps the body strong, it cannot prevent viral infections like Hep B. Vaccination and safe practices are absolutely necessary here.

I visited a specialist at a top hospital for my pre-marital screenings, and they clearly explained that Hep B spreads through intercourse. They advised us to get vaccinated. I highly suggest you visit a good hospital and speak to a doctor clearly about your vaccination status.
