Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Massage and masturbation are not modes of transmission of hepatitis B infection.
So that is not the way how you acquired it.

The following are ways how Hepatitis B gets transmitted.

1. Mother to child
2. Unprotected sex with an infected person
3. Through blood and blood products transfusion
4. Sharing of contaminated needles.

You could have acquired the infection by any one of the ways mentioned above.

Regards,
Dr.R.K.
