Detailed explanation-1: -Hepatitis B virus can be detected in serum, semen, vaginal mucus, saliva, and tears even at a lower level but not found in the stool, urine, or sweat. In the United States, estimates are about 2.2 million people have chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Like HIV, the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses spread: By sharing needles, syringes, and other injection equipment. Perinatally: Pregnant people can pass these infections to their infants. HIV-HCV coinfection increases the risk of passing on hepatitis C to the baby.
