A member asked:
A new aide for mom had a liver transplant years ago and has chronic hepatitis b. is my mom in danger of getting hep b?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: As long as they wear proper personal care equipment with healthcare, such as gloves etc, there shouldn't be much risk. The main risk is with exposure to bodily fluids(blood, etc) and sex(clearly not an issue here).
