A member asked:

If someone with hepatitis b washed their hands in the sink after cutting themselves with no visible blood in the sink would the soap and water wash away traces of blood in the sink base?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The soap and water would wash away Most but maybe not all of the blood. The Hepatitis B virus is MUCH smaller and could still be present even if no blood could be seen in the sink. I would wear waterproof gloves and decontaminate the sink several times before I would use it myself. Make sure the product that you are using says that it will kill hepatitis B viruses.
