Patient's question:
My boyfriend is an hepatitis B patient. I don't really understand much about this, it seems he was diagnosed through a DNA test, and he is a carrier. They said it's not contagious, but we have been dating for a year and a half, and we have had sexual experiences. I haven't been infected. I think I had hepatitis B antibodies detected a few years ago. I'm afraid that if we get married, our child might be born with hepatitis B or become a carrier due to heredity. Is that the case?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hepatitis B is a contagious disease that spreads through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. However, this disease is not hereditary, so if you are not infected, your child will not be infected either.Medical Advice: Hello, it is recommended that you get a quantitative check of the five hepatitis B items every 3-5 years. If necessary, receive a booster vaccine to stimulate the body to produce sufficient hepatitis B surface antibodies and prevent infection. If you are not infected, your child will not be infected either. I hope my answer helps you.
