    Hepatitis B is NOT spread through saliva, period. The prof. is talking nonsense.

  • kofi 1 year ago

    my friend so you mean if the professor just say anything without fact we should go by it? in develop world it doesn't work that way it need to be proof we are not in block age.

  • OSABARIMA MENSA 1 year ago

    Hepatitis B is NOT spread through saliva, Prof. Our so-called learned professors should be circumspect of what they say.

  • GH 1 year ago

    Hepatitis B is spread through bodily fluids. Easier through blood compared to other fluids. Possible through saliva but not easy. Heat reduces the risk but not when the temperature of the food has dropped for eating.

  • Pelicles 1 year ago

    Okay, let look at another angle. Whites have Hepatitis B, and their eating behavior is not like ours so, what is the answer to that?

  • GH 1 year ago

    They get it through other means

  • Efo Juju 1 year ago

    Saliva is just one of the means by which it spreads. It can spread by other means.

  • Jotta 1 year ago

    There is no scientific proof and what the prof is saying is not true. You are going to cause unnecessary fear and panic.
    You are going to cause high level
    Of stigmatisation. I wonder where he attained his professorship.

    The old Prof. should come again. Our forefathers have done communal eating for centuries and there was no known spread of hepatitis B. How come now.

  • Bazz 1 year ago

    It sounds reasonable but it must be backed by facts and figures not just talking it. African culture has accommodated eating together for so many years without any qualms until the White man brought his own things

    In his anecdote he admits to he himself sharing a bowl, is he also admitting in a roundabout way he has hepatitis ?

    No! Something was not right. This is a pathologist and a former GHS director general making such pronouncements.
