Question re: Hep B Miladyknight help.
| Thu, 10-06-2005 - 8:39pm |
HI Miladyknight. I have a relative who just told us he has Hep B and I tried doing a search for him and we still have unanswered questions. he is going to the Doc tomorrow for further testing, but I need some info to ease my mind.
I found that it's passed via body fluids, ex: tatoo needles( he doesn't have a tattoo) drug needles,(he's NEVER shot up) or other blood passing.
Can it also be spread by drinking from the same cup? Kissing? etc...
Can you give me some factual links please? TIA!




Sisterlisa,
"Hepatitis B is not spread through food or water, sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, coughing, sneezing or by casual contact."
Since there is little chance that your relative received the hepatitis B virus (HBV) by a needle-stick injury you should know that
Sisterlisa,
Anything is possible! Which is why his going to the doctor for further testing is very important.
I don't think
oo oo oo I found it.
Prayers and Positive Thoughts!
