Patient's question:
My brother has hepatitis B, he eats dinner at our home, will we get infected? The bowls and chopsticks are not separated.Doctor's answer:
The patient is a 23-year-old male. His younger brother has chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive), and the possibility of spreading the virus during meals is very low, but it is not entirely impossible. Generally, chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) is contagious, but the primary mode of transmission is through blood. However, close personal contact cannot be ruled out, as there are no absolute guarantees in medicine. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination, early detection, and comprehensive prevention and treatment, which will lead to the best prognosis. In addition to immediate medical treatment, the patient should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood greatly assists in the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above information can help you. Thank you!
