There is a vaccine for this. It is a series of 3 shots given over a five month period ; you must have all three within the time limits in order for it to be effective.
In the meantime, use protection during sex as hep B is highly sexually contagious.

It can be quite debilitating if contracted. There is a one-shot vaccine available from doctors and travel medical centers.

dont eat anyone elses food, dont drink from their cups, wash your hands before you eat anything, before you pick up a ciggie, before sex and always use a condom, and wash well after sex, no oral and no french kissing unless you really are sure of the person, and then you dont know. and you shouldnt ever eat outside your own home and keep your kitchen very clean.
