Patient's question:
When going for a blood test, they said I was a hepatitis B carrier. What is going on with this?? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
The view that people with hepatitis B are carriers is incorrect. What you should be referring to is hepatitis B carriers. Hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus. To confirm whether it is big three positive or small three positive, you can only rely on the hepatitis B five-item test conducted by the hospital. Currently, about one-tenth of the population in China are hepatitis B carriers. It is best for you to get a liver function test at the hospital. If your liver function test results are normal, there is no need for treatment. Currently, there are no specific drugs or therapies for hepatitis B, and it can only be managed through regulation. Hepatitis B is spread through blood, and sexual contact generally does not spread it. However, if there is a break in the oral mucosa, it can also spread. It is best for your partner to get the hepatitis B vaccine, so there will be no issues during sexual activity.
