HPB Transmission

Hey.
Is there any chance that hpb is transmitted through talking? Imagine you are talking to someone and a bit of their saliva enters your mouth (some people spit when they talk), is it possible that it infects?

I was vaccined back in 98', 3 shots. I believe only 5% people don't respond to the vaccine, hope I'm apart of the other 95%. Thanks.

Vaccination doesn't gueante that you respond for the vaccacine, few people won't. Only if you see antibodies in blood you know it works.

Well I live in an area where infected people are about 1 in 400, besides, I got vaccined when I was born (16 years ago) so I guess the risk reduces even more with that, right? By the way, do people who get vaccined develop chronic HepB? Thanks.

Slim to none. But only bloodwork will confirm.
