Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. I would like to ask if the saliva of someone who has recovered from hepatitis A can still transmit hepatitis A to others?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis A and E are primarily spread through the fecal-oral route, and this mode of transmission is only effective during the patient's illness or treatment period. Once fully recovered, they are essentially non-infectious, so such concerns are excessive. If you still feel psychological pressure, you can politely decline. There is nothing embarrassing about it; such exchanges of courtesy should be based on mutual consent.
