How are hepatitis B transmitted?

Patient's question:

My ex-boyfriend had hepatitis B, and I only found out later. When we were dating, we often ate dinner together, and sometimes we'd drink a bottle of water when we were thirsty. But now I'm so sad. Some classmates said hepatitis B is contagious, but we didn't have sex, we just held hands.

Doctor's answer:

One is intrauterine infection (mild damage to the uterine placenta with a small amount of blood infection); the other is perinatal infection (blood transmission to the newborn during the delivery process). There are two types of horizontal infection: one is body fluid spread (transmission through contact with genital and vaginal secretions – transmission through unprotected sexual contact). The hepatitis condition is very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment and hope that patients can receive symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's advice. Pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The answer provided here is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
