Patient's question:
I carefully checked the five hepatitis B items: The surface antigen of hepatitis B virus is negative, the surface antibody of hepatitis B virus is positive+, the e antigen of hepatitis B virus is negative, the e antibody of hepatitis B virus is positive+, the IgG core antibody of hepatitis B virus is positive+, and the IgM core antibody of hepatitis B virus is negative. Did the doctor say I had hepatitis B before? Is hepatitis B contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is contagious, with transmission routes including blood, sexual contact, and vertical transmission from mother to child. The level of hepatitis B contagiousness is positively correlated with the patient's viral load—the higher the viral load, the stronger the, and the lower the viral load, the weaker the. In daily life, the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B transmission is to actively and effectively get vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccination schedule for the hepatitis B vaccine follows the 0-1-6 principle. One month after completing the vaccination, a follow-up test for the five hepatitis B indicators should be conducted. The presence of hepatitis B surface antibodies indicates successful vaccination. The higher the antibody level, the stronger the protection, and it can prevent infection.
