Hepatitis B
Does Hepatitis B spread through sweat of the patient to his family members or colleagues?? please advise
Can you throw light on this ?
1) can hbv transmit thru deep french kissing (assuming no cold sores in mouth)?
2) can hbv transmit thru sweat ? (I have seen somewhere that when hbv DNA is UND , then hbv may noot be present actively in bodily fluids in that cases it wont transmit thru sweat)

Hi,
No, Hepa B is not spread through the sweat of an infected individual. It is spread in a way similar to HIV (having sex with an infected individual, coming into contact with an infected individual's blood either through transfusion or being punctured by a needle used by said individual, etc)
This link from the Center for Disease Control should be able to answer any other questions you might have.
