How To Contract Hepatitis B And What You Should Do

6. Common Sense Prevention

Sexually active males should wear a condom, especially if they have multiple sexual partners. Drug users should avoid sharing needles and dispose of their own properly. Items that have a risk of being tainted with blood like razors and toothbrushes should not be shared and those getting tattoos should fully research the hygiene practices of the artist.
