Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Hepatitis B is a viral disease transmitted by parentral route and sexual transmission. It can be transmitted by needle pricks, blood transfusion and the Iv drug abuse.

Injecting Paracetamol will not detect the hepatitis B infection.It is detected by band of lab Investigations like
1.HBsAg
2.Anti HBs
3.Liver Enzymes
These test should be done before the confirmation of hepatitis infection in the body.
Thank you.
