Will I get Hepatitis B

I got a ride from my friend who has Hepatitis B. I was sitting in his car. Will I get Hepatitis B because of that?

BTW, can Hepatitis B be transmitted through saliva? How long can the virus live outside the body?

Sounds like your friend's nice person.  You are fine.

BTW, can Hepatitis B be transmitted through saliva? Techincally yes, but unlikely.

How long can the virus live outside the body?  It depends on where outside the body.
