Patient's question:
This morning at the place where I got my blood drawn, I accidentally got kissed by a hepatitis B patient. Will I get infected with the hepatitis B virus?Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, you will never get infected with the hepatitis B virus! Because the hepatitis B virus carried by carriers exists in blood, saliva, and other body fluids, it can only be transmitted through broken skin or mucous membranes. After you had blood drawn, the needle hole would be immediately closed by pressure. She just gave you a light kiss, not a deep one, so there is absolutely no risk of infection! I suggest you rest assured, you will never get infected with the hepatitis B virus from a light kiss. It is only possible to get infected through direct contact between the two. Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis B patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must digest vitamins.
