Answers:
You can't get it from sharing a room with her, but you can expose yourself to transmission risk factors by sharing razors or toothbrushes. Hep B (HBV) can live outside the body for several days. So if she used a razor and knicked herself, then you used the razor and knicked yourself, the virus can be transmitted this way. Same for toothbrushes (bleeding gums). Other than that, HBV is transmitted sexually or through blood to blood contact. You could get vaccinated to protect yourself. Best wishes.
it is very contagious. it is tranmitted like HIV. 1. sexual transmission 2. contaminated needles (IV drug use) 3. blood transfusions. (blood bank blood is tested) 4. open wounds
hep b is very viable at room temperature for a long time. it also requires only a very low dosage to be infective.
as to whether you can acquire the hep b.. depends upon how careful you are. it is possible.
The Hep B virus is only spread through unprotected sex and sharing needles and mother to unborn child. You can not get it from sharing a bathroom or hugging, or even kissing.
hepatitus b is an std, moron. you cant get it by sleeping in the same room. std stands for SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE. the only way you could get it is by sharing needles or having wierd raunchy sex with her. so unless you are giving each other tattoos and shooting up crack and having wierd raunchy sex, (or just one of the three)all at the same time, you probably arent gonna get it.
you should learn how to type.
If you have an open wound and you touch something contaminated with her blood or body secretions, you can get it. Why don't you get vaccinated? Then, you would not have to worry. Do not share a nail cutter or razor.
