Can Hepatitis-B Be Transmitted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?
Question: My query to Dr XXXXXXX heijebu.
Hi doctor, This query is regarding hepatitis b. I just want to ask that whether hepatitis B can be spreaded during sex even though there was no ejaculation while doing that. Also want to ask that can blow jobs lead to spread hepatitis B to the female who is doing that because urine is also one of the causes that lead to hepatitis B.
Thank you.
