Hepatitis b patients saliva is also dangerous like blood?
The saliva of hepatitis B patients can contain the hepatitis B virus (HBV), but the risk of transmission through saliva is generally considered to be low. HBV is primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids, such as semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk.
The concentration of HBV in saliva is typically much lower than in blood, and the virus is less likely to survive outside the body. However, there have been some reported cases of HBV transmission through saliva, particularly in settings where there is close contact and exposure to saliva, such as sharing toothbrushes or razors.
It's important for people with hepatitis B to take precautions to prevent transmission of the virus to others, including avoiding sharing personal items and practicing good hygiene. It's also important for people who are at risk of HBV infection to get vaccinated against the virus.
If you are concerned about the risk of HBV transmission, talk to your doctor or a public health professional for more information and guidance.
