Wouldn't you have to swallow a lot of saliva to contract hepatitis from a tooth brush? |
basicaly wouldnt someone ussulay contract hepatitis it think b, from a sexual partner or somthing bigger than a one time use of a tooth brush You can get Hepatitis from an ice cube....with that said I don't think you would need to drink a whole bunch of saliva...that would be in the case of HIV...but not hepatitis For Hep. B: having sex with an infected person without using a condom sharing drug needles having a tattoo or body piercing done with dirty tools that were used on someone else getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care workers can get hepatitis B this way) living with someone who has hepatitis B sharing a toothbrush or razor with an infected person traveling to countries where hepatitis B is common An infected woman can give hepatitis B to her baby at birth. For Hep. C: Research has shown that the hepatitis C virus could be spread by sharing toothbrushes. Although the disease is commonly transmitted through contaminated blood products, studies have shown that the virus may also be present in saliva. In one study of patients infected with hepatitis C, 30 percent tested positive for traces of the virus in their saliva prior to brushing and 38 percent after brushing. The virus was also present in 40 percent of the water rinsed from the toothbrushes. http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases... http://www.deltadentalmi.com/healthtips/... Is that someone's excuse? I know someone who has hepatitis and they share things like sodas and food all the time. Nothing has ever come of it. My sister was recently diagnoses with Hep. C and she says she got it from sharing a sewing needle with someone to pop acne on her face. I understand if someone is infected you can get it pretty easily, you might want to go to google and check it out. Good Luck and hope you don't have it =) NEVER SHARE A TOOTH BRUSH there are many gum diseases that are also able to be spread in this way, most are painful and could result in you loosing all of your teeth I doubt there is a reassuring answer for this. If you've used the toothbrush of someone who is hepititis + you should have yourself tested. |
