Patient's question:
My aunt suffers from hepatitis B minor positive, I have half a month time to live with her together, will I get infected by eating dinner together?Doctor's answer:
As the current situation shows, hepatitis B (minor positive for hepatitis B) is somewhat contagious. Living together and sharing dinner can pose a certain risk of transmission. Therefore, appropriate isolation measures should be taken regarding utensils and daily items for hepatitis B patients. You need to get vaccinated for hepatitis B as soon as possible to prevent the transmission of the hepatitis B virus. For hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to undergo a hepatitis B viral load test at a hospital. If the viral load is high, antiviral medication may be required for treatment. The daily management of hepatitis B patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain a regular schedule while avoiding smoking and alcohol. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
