Patient's question:
I am a family member of hepatitis C. Recently, I did a full set of hepatitis B tests, and the results were positive. Is it possible that I have contracted hepatitis C? I want to ask if family members of hepatitis C patients usually get a full set of hepatitis B tests recently?Doctor's answer:
Your positive result for antibody to hepatitis B indicates that you have immunity to hepatitis B and will not transmit the disease. You already have hepatitis B antibodies in your body, but it is unknown how you may have contracted hepatitis C. For hepatitis C, you need to get tested for hepatitis C antibodies. Hepatitis C has a significant impact on patients, so if you notice any symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to your diet, focusing on light and nutritious foods. Avoid spicy and irritating foods.
