T.B & Hepatitus B?
Question:
Thanks!
Answers:
My best guess would be not to share dishes, toothbrushes, food, etc. Clean anything you use in common very thoroughly & use common sense about it.
Here's how hepatitis B can be spread:
During sexual intercourse.
From sharing needles during drug use.
From infected needles, for example in a tattoo shop or when you have your ears or other parts of your body pierced.
From a woman to her baby during birth, or when she is pregnant.
From a woman to her baby during breastfeeding.
From sharing toothbrushes or razors (when blood has been in touch with the toothbrush or razor).
Between people who live under the same roof, when one person has hepatitis B.
TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. Laughing, singing, or playing brass or woodwind instruments can also spread the germs in an enclosed space. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
So, don't cough on her & ask her to clean up after herself in the bathroom!
Good luck & I hope this helps ya'll out . . .
you need to get the hepatitus b shot. i got my first one yesterday. it is a series of three shots over a 6 month period of time. this is kinda weird, but i also got a tb skin test yesterday. i'm suppose to go get my results tomorrow.
