Does hepatitis B transmit?

Patient's question:

I have a friend who got a girlfriend, and their relationship had always been good. However, when they were about to get divorced, his family didn't agree, thinking that the girl was an HBV carrier and might infect him. Later, after their persistence, the family finally agreed to their divorce.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, there are many different specific cases of hepatitis B. If it is hepatitis B with a large positive three (HBeAg positive), the (transmissibility) is very strong, while with a small positive three (HBeAg negative), the (transmissibility) is slightly weaker. If it is only hepatitis B surface antigen positive, then it is basically non-transmissible. Hepatitis B can be spread through shared utensils, and the situation you mentioned could also lead to infection. The best prevention method is to get the hepatitis B vaccine. In addition to timely treatment, hepatitis B patients also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you.
