You can do the following things to decrease your risk of contracting HB:
• Don’t share needles.
• Always wear a condom when having sex.
• If you are pregnant, have a blood test for HB so you can protect your baby as soon as they are born.
• If you know someone has HB, be careful not to touch their blood.
• Hand washing and covering the mouth and nose while coughing/sneezing can help reduce the spread of disease.
