Patient's question:
I graduated last year and have been working for over a year now. Recently, during a company health check, I was carefully diagnosed with hepatitis B. I don't know when I got infected. I currently have a steady boyfriend and am very worried about passing it on to him or even to my future children. Can hepatitis B carriers transmit the virus?Doctor's answer:
A patient with hepatitis B virus carriage does not necessarily have transmissibility. The specific situation needs to be determined by a careful examination of HBV-DNA in the patient's body to understand whether there are viral copies present. If there are copies, the transmissibility is high; if it is negative, the transmissibility is low. In addition to treating hepatitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
