Patient's question:
My wife has been diagnosed with hepatitis B (), but her liver function is normal. She has also undergone a thorough examination, and the quantitative result of the hepatitis B virus (HBV-DNA) is: 6.60E+07 IU/ml. She has had sexual intercourse (with a condom), but there has been contact between her love fluid and the surrounding skin.Hello, could I be infected? Thank you?
Doctor's answer:
The HBV DNA in the case of chronic hepatitis B with 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 tests are normal, treatment is not necessary, and periodic follow-up tests can be performed. Rest and abstinence from alcohol are the main measures. You need to get the hepatitis B vaccine to boost the hepatitis B antibodies in your body.When consulting a doctor: For severe cases of chronic hepatitis B with positive, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medications blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
We hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
