| Response from Dr. McGovern
 The official recommendation is not to share drinking glasses or eating utensils with someone who has chronic hepatitis B. This is because of the theoretical concern of transmission due to the presence of hepatitis B in saliva. However, I think this as a mode of transmission is extremely uncommon. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
