A member asked:
Is it possible to get hepatitis b from someone getting spittle/spit in your eye? i ask because i have red hbv can be passed through saliva.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's possible.: hepatitis B virus is spread through bodily fluid contact, so this is possible, if you have not had a complete series of hepatitis B vaccines, or if you are not immune from previous exposure. If in doubt, get checked out. Good luck.
