Can a hepatitis B virus infection rate of around 60% be contagious?

Patient's question:

I saw a viewpoint: The infection rate of hepatitis B virus in the population is about 60%, which means that more than half of the healthy people who have not been vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine will have hepatitis B, with one or more positive results in the hepatitis B five-item test. Is this true? That is, most people have been infected with hepatitis B, but none of them have developed hepatitis B? Is hepatitis B relatively easy to transmit?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, you are concerned about how you might be infected with the hepatitis B virus. In this situation, in fact, the vaccination rate for hepatitis B in our country is very high. Almost all the 80s and 90s generation have been vaccinated. Currently, it is mainly the older generation who have not been vaccinated. In addition to immediate medical treatment for hepatitis patients, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this disease as soon as possible.
