Patient's question:
I was pricked by a needle used for intravenous injection by a hepatitis B carrier. Will I get infected?Doctor's answer:
This friend, this is possible. The hepatitis B virus is mainly spread through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sexual contact. Your behavior could potentially lead to infection, so it is recommended to get the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test. In fact, having liver disease is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and appropriate treatment is provided, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
