Patient's question:
I am a recent graduate. During the final exams, I was tested positive for the hepatitis B virus, which seems to be what is known as "." However, in these years, I haven't shown any symptoms, and my liver function tests are normal. Recently, I found a job, and they said that a health check is required upon employment. If I have an infectious disease, I won't be hired. But will simply carrying the virus infect others? Is there any temporary measure I can take to avoid detection by the company? Thank you very, very much.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B carriers, especially those like you with "," are highly infectious. Hepatitis B with "" is more infectious than "" because the hepatitis B virus replicates more intensely, making it more contagious. Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, blood, and body fluids, as well as vertically through the placenta.Lifestyle care: I hope my explanation helps you, and I wish you good health!! For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention early and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
