A member asked:
If i had hep b and had tiny cuts on my hands from washing my hands a lot but no blood coming out would i pass on hep b?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people recover from Hep B and are able to eliminate the virus and are not a risk for transmitting the virus. A small proportion have chronic infection and can transmit the virus. You need a Hep B nucleic acid test to find out your status. Chronic hepatitis B is treatable and curable in most cases.
