Patient's question:
Our organization has a hepatitis B carrier. Due to work-related exposure, they come into contact frequently. I have also received the hepatitis B vaccine, but with daily exposure, I am still quite concerned. Could you please advise if this situation carries a risk of infection?Doctor's answer:
This is just that if you have hepatitis B antibodies and avoid contact with others' blood, there is not much chance of transmission through ordinary contact. Having hepatitis B antibodies actually reduces the risk of transmission, so if you have antibodies, you don't need to worry. If you don't have antibodies, get vaccinated. Patients face the harm of liver disease, and we should actively implement testing and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the liver disease does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
