Can the hepatitis B virus be transmitted in this way?

Patient's question:

Here is the translation of the provided text into English, with the specified requirements in mind:
"Jiaozi from a hepatitis B patient's package were brought home. They are raw. If I cook and eat them, will I get infected?"

Doctor's answer:

The hepatitis B virus is currently a relatively common virus, but its most fundamental requirement is to enter the human bloodstream to be and then exert its effects again. Under normal atmospheric pressure, boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes can inactivate the hepatitis B virus. Based on your situation, there is absolutely no need to be overly concerned, unless you have inflamed and ruptured wounds in your digestive tract. However, the probability of that is very low, so you can use the dumplings with peace of mind after cooking them, as they are highly unlikely to be contagious. I hope my explanation is helpful to you, and I wish you good health. For severe liver disease patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not switch medications arbitrarily for treatment.
