Hepatitis B prevention mainly involves getting vaccinated, which provides long-term protection against the virus. Additionally, avoid sharing needles, syringes, or personal items like razors and toothbrushes that may be contaminated. Practice safe sex using condoms, and ensure any blood or body fluids are handled with care to prevent transmission. Healthcare workers should follow standard precautions. Regular screening and testing can help identify infection early. These measures significantly reduce the risk of hepatitis B infection and help protect both individuals and the community.
