I am wondering about Hepatitis B. How do you get it. Is it only by sexual contact or can there be other ways?

A girl friend of mine told me that she has Hepatitis B but that she got it non sexually? Is she telling the truth or is she lying?

    This virus is most commonly caused by blood transfusions or use of a dirty needle for drug addicts.
