A relative lives in my home and is a hepatitis B carrier. If he hugs or kisses the baby, will he transmit the virus? If some utensils are used by both him and the baby, will the virus be transmitted? Also, if the utensils he uses for eating are boiled with hot water, will they no longer transmit the virus to others?Doctor's answer:
