Hepatitis B can be spread through sexual contact. Your sexual experience may have put you at risk for hepatitis if you have ever had a sexually transmitted infection (gonorrhea, Chlamydia, herpes, or any other).

Currently, vaccination against hepatitis B is available. For people who do not have a stable, monogamous partner, vaccination is advisable.
