How Is Hepatitis A Transmitted?

Dear Doctor, PLease advise if Hepatitis A is transmitted through vaginal sex. I surfed on net and found that oral contact with Anus of the infected person or anal sex or the infected person does not wash hand properly after stools is when you get infected . Please advise.
