Patient's question:
I am a carrier of hepatitis B with a high viral load. Last year, I met my girlfriend, and we are planning to get divorced next month. However, I am worried about transmitting hepatitis B to my wife because I have a high viral load. I used to undergo treatment for a period of time, but I stopped taking medication midway. If we get divorced like this, will it transmit to her? I am very concerned.Doctor's answer:
Most patients with hepatitis B can get divorced and conceive when their liver function is stable and the virus is not replicating. The other party should be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine and develop protective antibodies. Female hepatitis B patients should pay particular attention to preventing mother-to-child transmission. For chronic patients with severe symptoms and significant liver function abnormalities, divorce is not advisable for the time being. They should actively seek treatment and wait until their condition stabilizes before getting divorced. In addition to immediate treatment, hepatitis B patients also need to maintain a proper diet in their daily lives to digest nutrients well. I hope the above answer can assist you.
