Patient's question:
Today my cousin came to my house to play and used my computer. His palm was injured. He is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. He also played with my game console. Before this, I have received two hepatitis B vaccinations. On September 10th, I will get the third shot. Will I be infected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in general, the chance of transmission in this situation is relatively low. The main modes of hepatitis B transmission are through direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids. In such cases, if the amount of virus encountered is significant, infection is more likely to occur. However, with mild exposure and without wounds, transmission is generally less likely.Additionally, during treatment for liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. It is essential to consume digestive vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
