Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I just checked and my liver function is normal. The second item of the hepatitis B five-item test shows a surface antibody greater than 1000. If the patient at home is my husband, will he be infected if we have sexual intercourse? In my case, if I have long-term close contact with the patient, is the possibility of infection high?Doctor's answer:
You have a lot of surface antibodies, which is a protective antibody. Having it makes it difficult to contract hepatitis B. Even if your husband has hepatitis B, because you have antibodies, it is also hard for you to get infected. Moreover, most adults who contract the hepatitis B virus can recover completely, while only a small number develop chronic hepatitis. This is different from being infected with the hepatitis B virus at birth. Additionally, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can assist you. Thank you.
