Well, I don't accept prof. Akosa's bald claim (a claim without proof) because it's simply a claim. Scientists attach evidence to their claims before publishing it, so why should a claim, stemming from the imagination of a situation, be accepted as bold when it's not been proven simply because it's put out by a medical professor? Ghanaians lack that ability to question elites because they fail to learn.

The prof can never be wrong.
What he's saying is 100% correct, but you're misunderstanding him
From just simple logic, you could be eating with someone who has some sore in the mouth and the tendency of he transfering just small droplets of blood to the food may not be seen and if he has hepatitis, he'll transfer to the soup
You don't need a scientist to teach you this common sense
Also remember that prof is not an ordinary man, he's someone wh has done a lot of research in the medical field, a pathologist, so he knows what he's saying

If one is to believe that unproven claim by this Professor, then one must also believe that kissing causes hepatitis and therefore humans should stop kissing each other.

Some people in this country are hopelessly illiterate beyond comprehension. One does not need to have attained any measure of education - even at kindergarten level, to know that group eating in the same bowl is fraught with many health dangers and should be immediately discouraged by the health authorities. The so-called member of the Hepatitis B Foundation should be sent back to primary school and that Foundation should be de-listed. Hearing opinions like this in this day and age makes me understand how or why some other races think that we black people are sub-human. Simply incredible.

Massa, Prof. Akosa gave tangible proof of how hepatitis B can be transmitted through communal eating. It is common trite knowledge that when you eat, you dip your hands in your mouth and back into the soup. Therefore an infected person will likely infect the soup with the bacteria through the saliva that goes back into the soup, and the cycle continues. What is so difficult about this to be understood?!
True Ghanaian 1 year ago

Hep B is not transmitted through saliva. It's transmitted through blood, and sexual contact with an infected person. So if the prof says thru saliva he is wrong.

You're right. The problem with the Professor's warning is that he has failed to elaborate on his reason for advocating against communal sharing of meals. If one is to grab the listener's attention, then one has to be detailed in the reasons, for there's no better way to educate the public than to make it clear that persons infected with the hepatitis virus could pass it on when the infected person's saliva contaminates the food they're sharing or the person they're kissing. It should also be pointed out that besides the possibility of contracting the hepatitis virus, one has no idea what other communicable infections the other may be carrying. In short, it isn't hygienically wise to be sharing foods from the same bowl. The Professor raises a serious concern, but his failure to elaborate on his reasons for the caution doesn't serve well in educating the general public.

We don't need scientific proof in this. It is common sense and best practices. Eating together from one bowl has been part of ghanaian culture. I have come to realise that someone may not use soap to wash his/her hand after using the toilet and one funny thing is that every one washes his/her hand in the same water in a bowl. That is not hygienic. Apart from hepatitis b it can spread òther diseases.

The worse thing about this washing of hands is that it is generally said that one should simply rinse ones hands in water and not wash with soap before eating with ones hands. The reason? The scent of the soap on ones hands will spoil the flavour and thus the taste of the food that one is eating. And believe it or not, even many "educated" Ghanaians subscribe to this primitive nonsense.

Researc has it that Hepatitis B is transmitted when blood, semen, or another body fluid from a person infected with HBV enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth.

Can I get hepatitis B from sharing food or eating utensils?
No, *hepatitis B* is *not* transmitted through sharing food or eating utensils. You can *only* get hepatitis B from *infected blood* or some types of *body fluids. Most people acquire hepatitis B at birth or in early childhood. Additionally, you can contract hepatitis B if you have **unprotected sex* or undergo an *unsafe medical procedure* ². So, sharing a bowl or eating utensils with an infected person does *not* pose a risk for hepatitis B transmission. However, it's essential to practice good hygiene and take preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection:

Hepatitis B* is primarily transmitted through *blood, **semen, and other body fluids. It is **not* typically spread through *saliva* or by sharing food or utensils.

Please those asking Prof to retract his statement and apologize are rather those who have to retract their request and apologize to him. Transmission of infectious diseases, such as Hepatitis B, are diverse and those that have been identified include group eating, group sharing same items like razor blades, sharing of towels, kissing and several others. However it doesn't mean that when people eat together it is compulsory that they will contract the disease. Inless any of the members of the group has a positive infectioñ. If none of them has, it's not possible that anyone of them could contract the disease. It's a caution statement that he made so that people could protect themselves from such possible source of infecting themselves from such deadly viral infection. It's unfortunate that such a Group should be offended by Prof's caution statement.

He should be adding his coice and ateaighting up the rough edges than what he is trumpeting. In fact to stop the spread the Association should stop the debate and rather start educating the masses to curb the spread.
