Can people with hepatitis B have sexual activity?

Patient's question:

I am an HBV carrier. Hello, and my girlfriend and I had sexual intercourse again, would it be transmitted to my girlfriend? Thank you

Doctor's answer:

If your girlfriend's antibody test is positive, it generally will not cause infection, and the frequency of sexual activity is usually 1-2 times per week. Pay attention to isolation and protection during sexual activity, as semen or the spread of certain hepatitis viruses can occur. Patients should wear high-quality condoms during intercourse. The saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions of hepatitis B patients can carry the virus for a long time, so it is important to prevent sexual activity, oral sex, and avoid menstrual blood from entering the mouth to prevent industrial contamination. Additionally, during the treatment period for liver disease patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
