Can kissing transmit the hepatitis B virus?

Patient's question:

I have known my boyfriend for 4 years, and we are very affectionate. But he has hepatitis B. Will I get infected if I have sex with him?

Doctor's answer:

If you have oral ulcers, you may be infected with hepatitis B. You can get the hepatitis B vaccine, and as long as you develop antibodies after vaccination, you don't need to worry about getting infected. For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
