How is the hepatitis B virus transmitted?

Patient's question:

I have given my boyfriend oral sex three times. Am I a carrier and will I infect him?

Doctor's answer:

Absolutely not. Hepatitis B is a disease primarily caused by the hepatitis B virus, which is contagious. It is generally diagnosed through hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B DNA, and other tests. The symptoms are similar to those of general liver diseases, such as aversion to greasy food, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and fatigue. It can also be asymptomatic. Treatment typically involves liver-protecting medications, dietary care, and a relatively long treatment period, as there is currently no specific cure. The treatment is based on antiviral therapy and the use of liver-protecting drugs.
During the treatment of liver disease, in addition to taking medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet.
