Oh my god, yes! I read somewhere that it is. That's why I always worry so much about needles or any cuts. It's transmitted through blood and other body fluids, so we need to be really careful. Stay safe!

Yes, absolutely. My child got vaccinated for it because it's a bloodborne pathogen. It can be passed from mother to child at birth too, or through shared needles, unprotected sex. Very important to be aware and cautious.

Yeah, it is. That's why you gotta be careful with sharing razors, toothbrushes, and all that stuff. My college health center always sends emails about it. Also, safe sex is key, bro.

Haan beta, it is. Rakt se hi failta hai. Pehle ke zamane mein log bahut savdhan rehte the. Cleanliness is very important. Aur koi bhi bimari ho, niyamit bhojan aur aaram bahut zaroori hai, but for this, medical checkup is primary.
