Patient's question:
My colleague has been complaining recently about feeling weak all over and having a poor appetite, even not wanting to eat her disliked egg tarts. Occasionally, she also experiences liver pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was diagnosed with hepatitis B. Now, she still comes to work every day, and I don’t know if she might be contagious. I’d like to ask the doctor if hepatitis B is contagious.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B, also known as hepatitis B, is contagious. The current transmission routes of hepatitis B are primarily blood-borne, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. In general, close contact between friends will not lead to infection, such as sharing a meal, kissing, clinking glasses, or sexual activity. However, it is important to avoid contact with the patient's body fluids and secretions through wounds. At the same time, it is necessary to promptly get vaccinated for hepatitis B.
