Patient's question:
I have been living with my boyfriend who has chronic hepatitis B for a year. Recently, I found out that he has hepatitis B. Both of us have negative results for HBsAg and anti-HBs. Do I need to get immunoglobulin injections? Does hepatitis B have a latent period? Could I be infected?Doctor's answer:
You currently have all negative results for the five hepatitis B tests, indicating that there are no antibodies in your body and no hepatitis B transmission. It is now appropriate to administer the hepatitis B vaccine. Immunoglobulin is not required at this time. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
