Patient's question:
If a needle from a syringe used by an HBV carrier is stuck in the hand and bleeds, will infection occur? The person has antibodies.Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, you were pricked by a syringe from a hepatitis B carrier. Generally, the infectiousness of hepatitis B carriers is relatively low, so the chance of transmission at this time is not high. Besides, if you have hepatitis B surface antibodies, there is usually no risk of transmission. Hepatitis B surface antibodies are protective antibodies, and their positivity indicates immunity to the hepatitis B virus. Therefore, there is no need to worry about your situation; everything is fine.Doctor's inquiry: The daily treatment for liver disease patients mainly involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented by various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that liver disease patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
