Patient's question:
An elderly person with more than 20 years of hepatitis B surface antigen positive () condition, can they bring up children, and is there a possibility of infection.Doctor's answer:
First, the hepatitis B virus is generally not transmitted through casual contact. Hepatitis B is usually spread through sexual transmission, bloodborne transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. Therefore, a normal kiss is absolutely not a way to spread the virus. If a child has developed antibodies after vaccination, they are immune to the hepatitis B virus and will not transmit the virus. I hope this is helpful to you. There are many treatment methods for chronic hepatitis B, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment after noticing symptoms.
