Is a kiss contagious to the other person?

Patient's question:

I am an HBV carrier (HBeAg positive), will I transmit the virus to my girlfriend during sex? What should I pay attention to????

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, you are trying to understand how the hepatitis B virus is transmitted. Sexual contact can potentially lead to infection, so you can have your girlfriend tested. If she is not infected, check if she has antibodies. If she doesn't have antibodies, get her vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine promptly. Once she has antibodies, she will be immune and will not be infected. The condition of chronic hepatitis B is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
