The best protection from hepatitis B is immunization. The vaccine is usually given together with a vaccine against hepatitis A. The vaccine is recommended for:
- Men who have sex with other men
- People at high risk from infection through sex (multiple, changing partners)
- People with chronic liver diseases
- People with contact to hepatitis B patients (e.g. hospital staff)
- Drug users who inject or snort drugs
Vaccination is also possible and recommended for people who are HIV-positive.
The risk of hepatitis B can be reduced, but not ruled out, by using condoms.
The best way to protect yourself when using drugs is to always use your own syringe and equipment and to avoid using a shared tube or rolled-up note to snort drugs.
