How is hepatitis B transmitted?

Patient's question:

A colleague is a hepatitis B carrier. I drank water that she drank. Will I be infected? Do I need to get vaccinated?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to clarify this for you. The main transmission routes of hepatitis B are blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. It is generally impossible for it to spread through the digestive tract.
My advice is that there's no need to get the hepatitis B vaccine. Drinking water from a hepatitis B patient will not infect you, so please don't worry. I wish you good health.
In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, patients also need to pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve better treatment outcomes.
