Patient's question:
I am an HBV carrier, and I have met my boyfriend and been together for almost a month. Now I want him to get vaccinated. If he gets infected now, should we get tested for the two pairs of half immediately? Is the accuracy high?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in our country, to prevent the spread of hepatitis B, newborns receive half-price anesthesia for the hepatitis B vaccine. For older children, a liver function test is required before vaccination to confirm that they are not contagious with hepatitis B virus, after which they can also receive the vaccine. It is generally administered at the ages of 0, 1, and 6 months. The hepatitis B virus is primarily spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. The hepatitis B virus has a latent period, and both hepatitis B carriers and those who develop symptoms are contagious. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a liver function test and receive the hepatitis B vaccine promptly. In addition to active treatment, hepatitis B patients also need to pay attention to their lifestyle.
