Absolutely. Hepatitis B is transmitted by blood and body fluids. Sexual contact is one of the common ways to spread it. Sexual activity, sharing of drug paraphenalia, and congenital infection (when an infant acquires it from his/her infected mother) are the most common ways to spread the disease. Still, roughly 1/3 of the cases cannot be traced back to any of these causes.
If someone is a hepatitis B carrier, he/she is contagious, even though he/she is not currently suffering from the illness.
So yes, coitus can transmit hepatits B between partners if one of them is a carrier.
