All of these choices are correct. Hepatitis B virus is primarily transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, including during sexual activity or from mother to child during birth. It can also be transmitted through sharing needles and other equipment for drug use. Many individuals infected with hepatitis B become chronic carriers, which can lead to long-term liver damage and an increased risk of liver cancer.
