Patient's question:
I don't have any symptoms right now, feeling fine. After getting exposed to blood, I immediately washed it with water and cleaned it with disinfectant. I want to ask what I should do if my scraped finger got exposed to the blood of a hepatitis B patient?Doctor's answer:
Hands, body, areas that come into contact with the patient's blood, if there are no wounds, first clean them thoroughly, then use a disinfectant to disinfect the contaminated areas. For bloodstains, if there are wounds, first rinse them immediately, then squeeze the blood out from the proximal end to the distal end from top to bottom, and use povidone-iodine for disinfection. After completing the treatment, you need to get the hepatitis B immune globulin injection and immediately undergo the hepatitis B five-item test. If you have antibodies, there is no need to worry too much, as the antibodies will protect you, neutralize the virus, and prevent you from getting hepatitis B.
