Can the eb virus be passed on to family members?

EBV infection may be transmitted to family members. EBV is a herpes virus and survives for a long time in the body. It may cause infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt’s lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc. EBV is contagious and is mainly transmitted through saliva, droplets and blood. If you kiss or share utensils with an EBV-infected person, you may be infected with EBV through saliva. In addition, if you do not wear a mask when interacting with an EBV-infected person, you may be infected by inhaling the droplets of the patient. EBV can also be contracted through contact with the blood and blood products of an EBV-infected person, such as the shared use of syringes and needles, etc. Symptoms such as headache, fatigue, pharyngitis, fever, etc., may occur after EBV infection. Therefore, it is possible for EBV infection to be transmitted to family members. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, rinse the mouth frequently, and preferably adopt a meal-sharing system in life. If you have close contact with an infected person and have symptoms of discomfort, you should go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying your condition.
