Patient's question:
There is a patient with in my family. We often eat dinner together, and it's inevitable to mix up tableware. Will sharing tableware transmit hepatitis B ()? I want to know how sharing tableware can spread hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. The spread of hepatitis B virus in patients with is not severe, but the virus still retains a certain level of transmissibility. Patients with are virus carriers, meaning they carry the hepatitis B virus in their bodies and are generally infectious. However, to prevent transmission, it is best to separate the patient's utensils, as when the oral mucosa on both sides is damaged, there is a possibility of spreading the hepatitis B virus.
