Answers:
Hepatitis "B" is a infective disease. It is a blood transmitted disease. So by touching any one who have hepatitis "B" the virus can`t be transfer to you. But be careful, if you have open wounds it can be transferred. BE CAREFUL IT IS A VERY SERIOUS DISEASE. SEE A DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

Hepatitis B is called a "silent infection" because most people do not have noticeable symptoms when they are first infected. When a healthy adult is infected with the hepatitis B virus, their body can respond in different ways. People who do not know they are infected can unknowingly pass the virus to others.
Hepatitis B causes no symptoms in about 69 percent of infected people.
Approximately 30 percent of infected individuals will have some symptoms. Many will think they just have the flu and ignore the symptoms.
About 1 percent of those infected will develop life-threatening "fulminant hepatitis". These people may go into liver failure and require immediate medical attention. Although this response is rare, fulminant hepatitis develops suddenly and can be fatal if left untreated.
Common symptoms of hepatitis B infection include:
Fever, fatigue, muscle or joint pain
Loss of appetite
Mild nausea and vomiting
Serious symptoms that require immediate medical attention and maybe even hospitalization:
Severe nausea and vomiting
Yellow eyes and skin ("jaundice")
Bloated or swollen stomach
