Hi Anon,

Did you mean Hepatitis B? If so, Hepatitis B is caused through contact with body fluids of an infected person.

Fluids include:
Blood
Semen
Vaginal fluids
Saliva

A woman with hepatitis can pass the virus onto her baby during birth. The hepatitis B virus is not spread through food or water.

Hope this answered your question,

Rosa
