Hello doctor, My uncle have hepatitis b positive. Which is best type of treatments to that. And all family members are ready to take vaccine please tell me name of the vaccine. And I heard its also spread through body touching and sweat. It is correct doctor? Please they are very afraid about that.

Dear sir, we need to know the stage of hepatitis b. Not all patients with hep b need treatment, some only need close followup. We need to see him and do some tests to know the stage and accordingly treat if needed. Hep b does not spread by touching and sweat, it spread by blood contact, iv drug abuse (sharing needles), from mother to baby and during intercourse if the partner is not protected. Meet me for further information.
