Here are the key points about Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission and vaccination:
Exposure: HBV is found in blood and body fluids such as semen, vaginal fluids and saliva. It can be spread through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth.
Vaccination: The hepatitis B vaccine is safe and effective. It is given as a series of shots over several months. Vaccination provides long-term protection against HBV infection and its potential serious consequences like liver damage and cancer.
