Patient's question:
Hello, is it possible to get infected by eating dinner with a hepatitis B patient? Should I get tested?Doctor's answer:
The transmission routes of hepatitis B generally include blood transmission, sexual transmission, and horizontal transmission. Generally speaking, eating meals is rarely a way of infection except for these aspects. However, for the sake of your health, it is best to check for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies at the hospital. If everything is fine, you can get vaccinated against hepatitis B, and it will be better once antibodies are produced. Liver disease conditions can be very serious, and it is recommended that patients receive timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
