Patient's question:
I am a normal person, but I had oral sex with someone who carries hepatitis C a few weeks ago, and there was also physical contact. I want to confirm if I could be infected with hepatitis C?Doctor's answer:
The spread of hepatitis C is through blood transmission and mother-to-child transmission. Currently, the main reports in China are about blood transmission caused by improper intravenous fluid administration. There are also reports of sexual transmission, but it is relatively rare. For thorough examination, it may take a year before the results can be accurately determined, and the possibility should be considered low.In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis C, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a positive and cheerful mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from hepatitis C.
