Patient's question:
The doctor recently noticed that my roommate isn't doing well, so I gradually found out--he has chronic hepatitis B. But I didn't know what this was, and I was very upset about the possibility of getting infected. Doctor, can you tell me about chronic hepatitis B infection?Doctor's answer:
Chronic hepatitis B is contagious, primarily spreading through contact or blood transmission. Patients with chronic hepatitis B should be mindful not to share personal hygiene items such as razors, cups, or towels with others. At the same time, it is important to actively understand and follow scientific and reasonable treatment to reduce the harm the virus causes to the liver, thereby preventing the recurrence of liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer.
