How is liver disease transmitted?

Patient's question:

My liver function test includes HBsAb (surface antibody), and the other four tests are negative. The doctor said I have antibodies and will never be infected. But my husband has hepatitis B (minor positive), and I live with him every day. Will I still not be infected?

Doctor's answer:

If you have antibodies, you will never be infected. There's no need to worry. However, after the hepatitis B antibody is produced, it generally disappears on its own within 5-8 years, although some people's antibodies can last a lifetime. If your partner has hepatitis B and frequently comes into contact with hepatitis B patients, it is recommended that you pay attention to follow-up tests. When the antibody is weakly positive, getting a hepatitis B vaccine is sufficient. Wishing you good health.
For liver disease patients, in addition to understanding and receiving symptomatic treatment, dietary therapy can be used as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat or binge drink.
