Hepatitis B

2024-04-13 17:12:15
Hello Sir/Madam, there is a small cut on my hand and I went to a local clinic which is very unhygienic and treats trauma cases I touched with my hands on the surfaces of the hospitals including the stretchers and beds and with the same hands I touched my wound. Can I get hepatitis B due to this, as I heard that hepatitis B virus can live outside the body for 7 days and the hospital is unhygienic and as a result not sure if they practice hygienic cleaning. I am worried. Thank You.
