Answer:

A! But in addition to vaccination, there are other simple ways to help stop the spread of hepatitis B:

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after any potential exposure to blood

Use condoms with sexual partners

Avoid direct contact with blood and bodily fluids

Clean up blood spills with a fresh diluted bleach solution (mix 1 part bleach with 9 parts water)

Cover all cuts carefully

Avoid sharing sharp items such as razors, nail clippers, toothbrushes, and earrings or body rings

Discard sanitary napkins and tampons into plastic bags

Avoid illegal street drugs (injecting, inhaling, snorting, or popping pills)

Make sure new, sterile needles are used for ear or body piercing, tattoos, and acupuncture
