Step 1
The best way to prevent Hepatitis B virus infection is to receive immunizations for the virus. Usually, the immunization takes place in three steps. After receiving your first shot, you have to go back for a second dose after a month. It boosts your body's immune response against the viral load in the blood. To have a strong immune reaction of your body against the virus for at least ten years, you can go back to your doctor for a third shot after six months.

Step 2
Becareful when eating out. Eating uncooked, raw food or eating from outside vendors can infect you with Hepatitis B virus. If you are visiting another country, you should be taking strict precaution not to eat from street vendors.

Step 3
If you love body piercing and tattooing, you have to be extremely careful with the equipment that you are using. Make sure the equipment is totally sterile. Using non-sterile equipment can transfer the Hepatitis B virus or other blood born diseases to your body.
