Can I get infected by sharing utensils with someone who has chronic hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

My younger sister has hepatitis B with a high viral load. To avoid putting her under mental stress, our whole family eats dinner together and shares utensils, without separating them. Could you please tell me if sharing utensils with her might lead to infection with hepatitis B with a high viral load?

Doctor's answer:

You should believe that eating dinner can infect is gender discrimination against your own relatives. It is recommended that you pay attention to the campaign to eradicate hepatitis B, where hepatitis B girls travel across the country asking people to eat dinner, just to prove that hepatitis B will never be infected through sharing meals. Your family will not be infected if they are vaccinated against hepatitis B. Hepatitis B patients need care, and what they need is not gender discrimination! In addition, during the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of chronic hepatitis B.
