Patient's question:
I am currently working at a relatively small textile factory. Recently, I've been hearing from some colleagues that certain people have hepatitis B (HBeAg positive), and they are worried about getting infected. Our factory has a scheduled mealtime, and I've always felt that the canteen isn't very hygienic. Does hepatitis B (HBeAg positive) cause infection?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. In the situation you mentioned, general daily contact will never lead to infection. It is recommended that you have a thorough check-up for the hepatitis B two pairs of half at the hospital. If you don't have antibodies and haven't been infected, you should get the hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible. Once you have antibodies, there is no need to worry, and you will generally not be infected. Liver disease is a condition that is difficult to cure. Friends with liver disease should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset, as only this can boost their confidence in combating liver disease.
