Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and other infected body fluids, including semen. You can contract it through unprotected sex (sex without a condom), infected needles, or blood transfusions. Unlike hepatitis A, this virus can turn into a chronic infection (in up to 10% of people), leading to liver disease and liver cancer.
