Patient's question:
I am 32 years old this year. I have been infected with the hepatitis B virus for 2 years, and I am still undergoing treatment. I currently have a girlfriend, and we have a good relationship, but because of my illness, I don't dare to have sex with her, afraid of infecting her.Doctor's answer:
Because HBsAg can be detected in the saliva of hepatitis B patients, there is a possibility of infection during kissing with a partner due to skin and mucous membrane damage. The best way to prevent this is to vaccinate normal people who have not yet been infected with the hepatitis B virus with a full course of hepatitis B vaccine to build resistance. If conditions permit, it is necessary to implement nationwide prevention efforts for hepatitis B. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and liquid foods, hoping that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible!
