QUOTE(Fireball9 @ Dec 8 2008, 07:38 PM) To be honest, I dont think you can consider that an STD. That's because the risk of transmission of Hep A is extremely low. So no point putting it under STD. It's the same as saying the risk of sleeping is the fan falling on you. But because that is so rare, albeit it being possible, you dont even consider it a risk of sleeping!  waa.. fan falling upon sleep.scary huh.. never thought of it..

Getting Started

No way hepatitis B is transmitted by sweat! then all the doctors in the ward would be wearing gloves when checking them!

That's true, according to the risk of transmission through blood products! There's facts and figures to support that

QUOTE(alip5225 @ Dec 14 2008, 07:18 AM) waa..u also read much ya..  Just came across it while reading some stuff... HIV transmission is really low (the risk) compared to other diseases. People in the hospital fear these because they meet a lot of people with diseases, and the needles they use can prick themself, causing what they call "needle stick injury". Thank goodness normal people are not at risk of needle stick injury!
