Can hepatitis b be transmitted through saliva and sweat?

My colleague has Hepatitis B and sometimes we play cricket together, so we get quite sweaty. I also wonder about casual contact. Can Hepatitis B be transmitted through saliva and sweat?

Bro, no way. I play football and we sweat like crazy, and my teammate has Hep B. The doc told us sweat does not transmit the virus at all. Saliva is also safe unless there's blood.

We lived with a relative who had Hepatitis B for many years. We shared the same house, sat together, and never had any issues. It does not spread through sweat or casual contact, so please do not worry.

If sweat could transmit Hep B, local trains in Mumbai would be a biohazard zone! Relax, you cannot catch it from someone sweating next to you.

Don't rely on random internet forums for this. The scientific fact is that sweat doesn't carry the virus, but you should always verify these medical facts with a certified doctor.

Chinta mat karo bhaiya, pasina se ye bimari nahi failti hai. Saath me baithne se ya haath milane se kuch nahi hoga, aap nishchint rahiye.

Just to be clear: Hepatitis B is NOT transmitted through sweat at all. Saliva has negligible virus levels, so casual contact is safe. Only blood or sexual fluids are high risk.

Bilkul galat fehmi hai ye. Pasine se koi Hep B nahi failta. Faltu me tension mat lo aur agar dar lagta hai toh chupchap vaccine lagwa lo.
