You could get hepatitis B by

having sex with an infected person without using a condom
sharing drug needles
having a tattoo or body piercing done with dirty tools that were used on someone else
getting pr!cked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care workers can get hepatitis B this way)
living with someone who has hepatitis B
sharing a toothbrush or razor with an infected person
traveling to countries where hepatitis B is common

An infected woman can give hepatitis B to her baby at birth.
You can NOT get hepatitis B by
shaking hands with an infected person
hugging an infected person
sitting next to an infected person


I thought I'd paste this in as I was trying to remember the reasons I didn't give HepB.
I just cant see the kids being in this situation.
