As humans are the major source of hepatitis B infection, so its extend generally occurs through human blood or blood products & use of infected injection materials. Besides the viruses also occur in the human semen, saliva & vaginal secretion, so infection may also spread through close personal contact, such as sexual intercourse (mostly in male homosexuals). Vertical or direct transmission from mother to child during and after birth is also an important way of hepatitis B virus.
