Hepatitis B is transmitted by:

Hepatitis B is transmitted by:

• A. Sexual contact or bodily fluids
• B. Fecal-oral
• C. Airborne
• D. Vector-borne

Answer: (A)

Hepatitis B spreads through contact with infected blood and other bodily fluids, most often during sexual contact or by sharing needles or other equipment that may be contaminated. It can also be transmitted from mother to child at birth. This makes it a bloodborne and body-fluid–mediated virus. The fecal-oral route is typical for hepatitis A, not B; airborne transmission involves respiratory spread, and vector-borne means transmission by an insect or animal bite—neither applies to hepatitis B. Vaccination and safe practices like using barrier protection and avoiding sharing needles reduce risk.
