Patient's question:
My friend was diagnosed with hepatitis B surface antigen positive (). I heard that eating dinner with him can lead to infection? Is that really true?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is divided into different categories such as "big three positive," "small three positive," and carriers, among which "big three positive" has the highest transmissibility. The main transmission routes are blood transmission, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. Therefore, if your girlfriend is "big three positive," she is likely to be infectious, and if the condition is severe, she may have strong transmissibility. So, what you need to do now is to ensure she receives proper treatment while getting vaccinated against hepatitis B to prevent infection. It is best to use separate utensils for meals to avoid potential infection during meals. If you have sexual activity, it is advisable to use condoms and avoid breastfeeding to prevent infection.
