Patient's question:
I worked at a company where everyone ate dinner together at noon. We often shared many utensils and things. It seems like our boss has hepatitis B or something like that. Will I get infected? What is liver disease?Doctor's answer:
If you have hepatitis B antibodies in your body, you don't need to worry too much, as they will provide some protective effect. Hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, saliva, and other routes. If your company's tableware is well-sterilized, you don't need to worry. However, for safety's sake, it is still recommended that you have a thorough check-up for hepatitis B antibodies at the hospital. Liver disease is a condition that is difficult to fully recover from. Friends with liver disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating the disease and believe that recovery is certain.
