Patient's question:
I have a friend who has hepatitis B. He is very self-conscious. Every time I talk to him, he doesn't dare to look at me. He always says it will be transmitted to me, that it will harm me, and that I shouldn't be friends with him. I find it strange. Is hepatitis B really that scary? When we talk together, like when we just chat, I feel that it's absolutely impossible to get infected. What are the transmission routes of hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B, also known as HBV, is a disease caused by the infection of the hepatitis B virus in the body. Transmission routes: blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission, sexual transmission, and skin and mucous membrane abrasion transmission, among others. In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis B, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
