Patient's question:
Checked positive for, I think I got infected, I have been vaccinated before, the last time was within 5 years, I want to know if I can be infected by my girlfriend through sexual contact.Doctor's answer:
If your girlfriend has chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive), there is a risk of infection through sexual contact. It is recommended that you get tested for the hepatitis B panel (HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc) to check for antibodies. If you don’t have them, you can first receive a high-cost hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) shot, and then complete the full course of hepatitis B vaccine.For the patient, if the condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of chronic hepatitis B. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
