Patient's question:
Is it possible to get infected when I and my colleague sleep on the same bed? We are both male.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. However, when a patient's body is in the viral replication stage and they have oral mucosal damage or gum bleeding, the virus can also spread through saliva. In other words, there is a possibility of infection if you sleep with a hepatitis B patient.Regarding prevention, it is necessary to receive the hepatitis B vaccine, but only if you are not already infected with the hepatitis B virus. In addition to treating liver disease, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical health and slow down the recovery process.
