Patient's question:
My boyfriend just found out he is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus but doesn't know when he got infected. I had the hepatitis B vaccine in high school. What is the probability of me getting the disease because we live together long-term but have not had much sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Don't be too nervous. You should first go to the hospital to check your liver function, and then do a two pairs of half test. Everything will be settled, and there's nothing serious. It's important to get vaccinated for hepatitis B in a timely manner. Before antibodies are produced, you should use a condom during sexual activity. For severe hepatitis B patients, it's recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment and avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
