What are the ways of transmission of hepatitis B

Patient's question:

In our company, there is a colleague who suffers from hepatitis B. Now, I work with him every day, sometimes even travel to work with him, and we even stay in the same room. I am very upset that he might infect me with hepatitis B. After a thorough medical examination, the doctor said that I have not contracted hepatitis B and recommended that I get the hepatitis B vaccine. What are the transmission routes of hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Whether it's or, hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, medical transmission, close daily contact, and sexual transmission, so don't worry, people are usually never infected with hepatitis B. You should get tested for the five hepatitis B markers to check if you have hepatitis B antibodies. If you don't have hepatitis B antibodies, you need to follow the standard hepatitis B vaccination schedule: 0, 1, 6, and get vaccinated in that order. The current hepatitis B vaccines are all genetically engineered vaccines, and both domestic and exported products are available. In addition to treating hepatitis B, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a happy mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
