Will Hepatitis B be contagious to others

Patient's question:

My wife has chronic hepatitis B (), but her liver function is normal. She has also undergone a thorough check-up, and the quantitative result of the hepatitis B virus (HBV-DNA) was: 6.60E+07 IU/ml. She has had sexual intercourse (with a condom), but there was contact between her love fluid and the surrounding skin.
Hello, could I get infected from this? Thank you?

Doctor's answer:

The HBV DNA in the case of hepatitis B "big three positive" is highly active and highly infectious. However, the main transmission routes of the hepatitis B virus are blood and mother-to-child transmission, and the risk of transmission through casual contact is generally very low. If liver function is normal, treatment is not necessary, and regular follow-up tests are sufficient. Rest and abstinence from alcohol are the main measures. You need to get a hepatitis B vaccine to boost the hepatitis B antibodies in your body.
If you have any further questions, please consult your doctor. For severe cases of "big three positive" hepatitis B, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medications blindly, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
