Patient's question:
My boyfriend recently found out he has hepatitis B, the type. In the last few days, we had two instances of sexual contact, and we also shared meals and other activities. I'm worried about getting infected with the virus, so I went to get tested for the five hepatitis B markers today.Doctor's answer:
There is no way to correct it now. Once this virus spreads, there is no medicine that can kill it. At the moment, you can’t do anything either, so you can only wait patiently. Generally, the possibility of transmission is not very high if you touch it only in very small amounts. It is usually through prolonged intimate contact that it gets transmitted. For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment is necessary, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. In addition, patients also need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
