Does Hepatitis A Infection Transmit Through Body Contact?
My friend called me yesterday and said she was diagnosed with Hepatitis A. About one and a half weeks ago, she hugged and kissed me on the cheek. Do I have anything to worry about? I do feel under the weather today, but that could just be exhaustion.

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that is transmitted through oral or feacal route and close physical contact, although casual contact among people does not spread the virus. So don't worry about Hep A and take care of yourself.
Hope to have been helpful
Kind Regards
