Patient's question:
I used to work with a patient who had a small three positive condition. She is a relative who has hepatitis and got infected. We often came into contact, ate dinner together, and even ate her leftover food. This disease can be transmitted through body fluids, blood, sweat, and saliva, including saliva transmission. So, when we ate dinner together and ate her food, is the small three positive condition highly contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is indeed a highly contagious infectious disease. If the other person's hepatitis is severe, with significant liver function damage, and they are in the viral adaptation stage, then the contagiousness is very strong. In this case, if you have close contact with them, the likelihood of contracting hepatitis is undoubtedly high. As for how you might be infected, let's see if you have hepatitis B antibodies in your body. If you do, then there's no major issue. I suggest you go to the hospital to check for hepatitis B antibodies. Have you ever had your hepatitis B antibodies checked before? For the patient, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
