My doctor recommended getting tested for various infections, including hepatitis B, as part of a general check-up. I'm wondering, how exactly is hepatitis B transmitted from one person to another?

It is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or other body fluids. This can happen through shared needles, unprotected intercourse, or even from mother to child at birth.

Basically, it's blood-to-blood contact or sexual fluids. When I got my ears pierced, I double-checked that the needle was fresh. Don't worry, it doesn't spread through hugging or sharing food.

Dekho, yeh gande paani se nahi phailta, haan. Yeh sirf infected blood ya body fluids ke contact me aane se hota hai. Doctor ke paas jaakar vaccine lagwa lo, sabse safe rahoge na.

It is transmitted strictly via blood and bodily fluids. Don't fall for fake WhatsApp forwards claiming it spreads through touch or casual sharing. Speak to a doctor for real medical facts.

My colleague has Hepatitis B and I was so scared of catching it from sharing office items. But I read it only spreads through blood contact. Does anyone else get anxious about this?
