Is hepatitis B one of it?.,.,


Infectious disease and contageous.,.,same or not??


Answers:

Hepatitis B IS infectious, but not contagious. Contagious means that the disease/bacteria can be contracted by simply coming into contact with someone/something that is infected. For instance, Tuberculosis is contagious...all you have to do is breathe the air around someone infected.
Infectious means that a disease is contracted by the sharing of infected needles, unprotected sex, and coming into contact with infected body fluid. Basically, with an infectious disease, the virus/bacteria has to actually get into the body by means of behavior, accident, etc. Hope this answers your question.
