How Does The Hepatitis B Infection Spread?
Question: I have a friend that was just told they have hepatitis B. We have kissed but no other physical contact. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Hepatitis B is not spread by kissing!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this worry that you have expressed. Hepatitis B is not transmitted by kissing. There is no reason to be afraid of a possible contamination from the kiss you both shared. If you have never been vaccinated against hepatitis B, I recommend you do so. It is cheap and very effective.
In all, you are safe as Hepatitis B cannot be transmitted through sex.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
