Will Hepatitis B be transmitted through marginal sexual behavior?

Patient's question:

My boyfriend has hepatitis B (minor positive). We have been together for two years and have only engaged in marginal sexual activity. I want to know if I will get infected?

Doctor's answer:

If the hepatitis B virus copy is very active, highly contagious, and sharing utensils for a long time can also spread the hepatitis B virus. The uninfected party should promptly test for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody. If there is no hepatitis B surface antibody, they should get vaccinated for hepatitis B until they develop antibodies, which will provide the body with automatic immunity. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
