Patient's question:
Experts, good day. My grandmother has hepatitis B, small three positive, and she has never been treated well. It's almost summer now, and I'm very worried that I might get hepatitis B through mosquito bites. So, I'd like to ask the experts if small three positive hepatitis B can be transmitted through mosquito bites. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, insect bites will never directly spread the virus, as insects do not carry the hepatitis B virus. However, insect bites can indirectly spread the virus when an insect bites a hepatitis B patient and then bites a healthy person, which constitutes indirect transmission. But as long as the body contains hepatitis B antibodies, it will absolutely not be infected. In fact, having liver disease is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and timely treatment is provided, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
