Patient's question:
My boyfriend is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. He has had this condition for three years, and no treatment has been implemented. He only gets a physical check-up every six months. Now, I'm a bit worried that this disease might develop into hepatitis, and whether there are any dietary habits that need to be paid attention to.Doctor's answer:
The full name of the hepatitis B virus is hepatitis B virus. It is a DNA virus belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family. Currently, it is known that HBV is only susceptible to humans and chimpanzees, causing hepatitis B. The complete hepatitis B virus is granular and is also known as Dane particles. It was discovered by Dane in 1965. The diameter is 42 nanometers. The particle is divided into two parts: the outer shell and the core. Most hepatitis B carriers have inactive viral copies with weak transmissibility. A small portion of the viral copies are highly active and infectious. Hepatitis B can be effectively prevented.
