Patient's question:
Once again, I had unprotected sex with a friend. In the middle of it, my friend said the condom broke, so they took it off and put on a new one, focusing on the act. Could this situation transmit the hepatitis B virus? I haven't had the hepatitis B vaccine.Doctor's answer:
If it's the hepatitis B virus, the routes of infection include blood transmission, horizontal transmission, and transmission through close contact. In your case, it's possible to be infected. It's recommended that you get tested for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies as soon as possible to see if you have antibodies. Liver disease is a condition that is not easily cured. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with an active mindset, as this can boost their confidence in combating liver disease and increase their chances of recovery.
