Question

Can you get hepatitis b without sexual contact?


Sent to Health Experts August 24, 2006 4:25 p.m.
Please tell me if there are other ways of contacting hepatitis b other than through sexual contact. My husband swears I gave it to him and I got tested and don't have it. How else could he have contacted it? I don't believe he has been with anyone else.

Hello

Apart from sexual contact Hepatitis B can be transmitted by following ways

  • injecting drug use
  • some household activities such as sharing razors or toothbrushes
  • invasive procedures in the community such as tattooing or body-piercing, if there has been inadequate infection control
  • invasive medical or dental procedures if there has been inadequate infection control.
  • It can transfer from sweat of infected person to other.

    He has a severe rash problem, has had it since infancy and it causes bleeding and sweating over a hugh part of his body. Could he have been a target among friends when he's drinking and socializing with with him if they are male and had the infection?
