Patient's question:
I am 36 years old and have had hepatitis B (minor positive) for 2 years. Currently, I am not undergoing treatment, and my liver function is normal with no symptoms. My child is already 8 years old and is very healthy. However, I've heard that minor positive hepatitis B is highly contagious. I want to ask if my condition can be transmitted to my family members.Doctor's answer:
Please check carefully, it is a small positive for hepatitis B, with normal transaminase levels. This situation has the possibility of infection. It is recommended that you get an HBV-DNA test to see if there are viral copies. If there are viral copies, the possibility of infection is relatively high. Family members can get the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent it. In addition to symptomatic treatment for liver disease patients, patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
