YES - It can be considered a sexually transmitted disease. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include (but are not limited to) unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles & syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth. Without intervention, a mother who is positive for HBsAg confers a 20% risk of passing the infection to her offspring at the time of birth. This risk is as high as 90% if the mother is also positive for HBeAg. HBV can be transmitted between family members within households, possibly by contact of nonintact skin or mucous membrane with secretions or saliva containing HBV.[23][24] However, at least 30% of reported hepatitis B among adults cannot be associated with an identifiable risk factor.[25] See Link Below:

Yes.

Similarly to other STD's such as HIV and hepatitis B, it can be transmitted through blood or other body fluids, including sexually, and so is a sexually transmitted disease.
HCV is not considered to be a STD as it requires blood to blood contact to transmit.
